Brentford striker Ivan Toney has dug up an old tweet that shows Leeds United duo Liam Cooper and Stuart Dallas singing about Bees boss Thomas Frank upon the Whites’ promotion to the Premier League. Cooper and Dallas were filmed holding the Championship trophy while chanting ‘mind the gap Thomas Frank’.
In Leeds ’ title winning season, Brentford were also vying hard for automatic promotion but fell at the final hurdle with defeats to Stoke City and Barnsley, before then being beaten 1-0 by Fulham in the play-off final. But Brentford were able to put that heartache behind them as the following season they won promotion to the Premier League for the first time, with Toney playing a huge part.
And with the two clubs in the same league again, it is Brentford who have enjoyed the better season. They currently sit nine points ahead of Leeds in 12th place, with the Whites now occupying a place in the bottom three.
