Ivan Toney Scores A Brace As Brentford Beats Man.City 1-2

Image
Ivan Toney showed what he was made of on Saturday, as the man who was overlooked by England manager, Southgate in his 26-man world cup squad, netted a brace to help his team Brentford beat League leaders Manchester City 1-2 at the Etihad. Toney missed out on a place in Qatar but demonstrated his vital importance to Brentford with an outstanding all-round display that left the reigning Premier League champions stunned as the Bees took all three points with a 98th-minute winner. Brentford went for Manchester City from the first whistle, perhaps noting the vulnerability that saw them just scrape victory over Fulham with a last-minute penalty last weekend. Ivan Toney was thwarted by Ederson even before he opened the scoring and with the outstanding Rico Henry providing pace and threat on the flanks, Brentford did not change their approach even after Foden’s equaliser looked to have changed the game. Brentford may have caught City on an off-day but Frank produced a gameplan that kept Erling...
