Republic of Ireland manager Stephen Kenny

Stephen Kenny lauded the contribution of John Egan in stemming the Belgium barrage in the first half of Saturday’s friendly which laid a foundation to eking out a 2-2 draw.

Ireland found themselves trailing to Michy Batshuayi’s 12th minute opener and being outplayed at Aviva Stadium before engineering a turnaround which yielded a leveller through Chiedozie Ogbene before the break.
