A brace from striker Ivan Toney gave Brentford a shock 2-1 win win over Manchester City at the Etihad on Saturday.
Toney, who wasn’t selected in England‘s World Cup squad this week, opened the scoring for Brentford in the 16th minute of the match when he flicked home from Ben Mee‘s header.

City found an equaliser just before half-time as Phil Foden connected with a deflected ball and sent it rocketing into the top right corner of the goal, but it was Toney who was the hero as he slotted home a close range shot in the 98th minute to give Brentford the victory.
“We’ve just got to keep doing well and keep doing our best,” Toney said after the match.
“I know what I’m capable of and I’ll keep going. The motivation is the boys in the dressing room and the fans.
“What we do week in week out on the training pitch shows that we’re capable of this. They might be Manchester City but they’re humans and humans make mistakes.”
The loss leaves City in second place in the table, two points behind leaders Arsenal who face Wolverhampton Wanderers later on Saturday, meanwhile Brentford sit in 10th.
