The 35-year-old made his first start for the club since 2015 and set up Bruno Fernandes for the only goal after having an earlier header ruled out.
“We are very happy to have a player like Jonny Evans in the squad. He comes in and he is calm, composed, he has character and a good skill-set. Even when you have things against you, you can bounce back and then you have the character in the team to do that.
“I already saw in pre-season with the schedule, the problems with the numbers in the squad. We decided to sign him because I think he can really contribute to the squad and today you have seen how massively important he can be.” “The team responded on the pitch. You could see the togetherness in the dressing room. It was a squad performance.”
But manager Vincent Kompany was pleased with the performance of his side, who hit the post in the first half through Zeki Amdouni and had several other good opportunities.“We had two or three massive chances, really big,” said the Clarets’ boss. “The one from Jay Rod where he is controlling the ball in front of the keeper and then slices it, the one from Bruun Larsen, one-on-one with the keeper, just takes his touch a little bit too far.
