Ivan Toney boosted his World Cup chances with a stunning goal during Brentford ’s Premier League win over Brighton.
The Bees striker has now notched three goals in two games - and his deft flick midway through the first half will give England boss Gareth Southgate plenty of food for thought ahead of his squad announcement on Thursday.
Toney, who added a second from the penalty spot, received his first call-up for the UEFA Nations League games against Germany and Italy last month, but is still waiting for his Three Lions debut. However, he moved a step closer to getting a seat on the plane to Qatar with his seventh and eighth goals of the season following on from another ice-cool penalty against Newcastle last weekend.
