JOHN Eustace praised the quality of summer signing Andreas Weimann after his wonder strike rescued a point for Blackburn against Burnley in the east Lancashire derby.
The hosts dominated creating by far the greater chances after taking the lead through Lyle Foster. But Weimann's second goal of the league campaign, a 25-yard arrow into a top corner, ensured the points were shared, despite Rovers playing the last half hour a man down after Makhtar Gueye saw red.
"That is why we brought him in," said Eustace when asked about Weimann's strike. "It doesn't matter how old he is when you have a player of that quality.
"Everyone can see the impact he has had on and off the pitch.
We are very fortunate that he decided to sign here." Veteran Weimann, 33, signed from West Brom in the summer and has scored three in both league and cup competitions.
