Ivan Toney aims brutal dig at Arsenal defender Gabriel with 'cringe' verdict after Brentford win

Brentford striker Ivan Toney has hit out at a tweet sent by Arsenal defender Gabriel that mocked the England international after their clash on Sunday. The Gunners ran out 3-0 winners away against the Bees, leaving them top of the Premier League table by the first international break of the season.

It's a drastic improvement on last season's result, having lost the fixture in their first game and starting a three-match losing run early on. In that aftermath of that game, Toney went on to tweet: "Nice kick about with the boys," - something those associated to Arsenal didn't take too kindly.

When asked whether his side had a nice kick about with the boys on Sunday, Mikel Arteta replied: "(chuckles) I’m really pleased the way we played. The performance how we controlled certain areas of the game that are very much needed if you want to dominate the game against Brentford and obviously really pleased to win the match and go top if the league into the break."
