Ivan Toney has revealed that he received a despicable racist message on social media after helping Brentford beat Brighton in the Premier League on Friday night.
Toney scored both goals as the Bees picked up a 2-0 win in west London. The England striker produced a lovely flicked finish to open the scoring before capping off the display with a trademark cool penalty to end Brentford’s run of three games without a win.
But after the high of a match-winning performance, Toney sadly had to put up with disgusting racism. Sharing screenshots of an Instagram direct message on Saturday morning, Toney tweeted: “I wasn’t even going to post this but I woke up angry…”
