If Brentford and Ivan Toney have ‘mind the gap’ at the front of their minds, Leeds United should recall ‘they fear us’ and the night they began their final march to the Premier League. The day after Arsenal beat the Whites, the Bees striker was happy to dig up a video from July 2020 and United’s title-winning celebrations.
Liam Cooper and Stuart Dallas were bouncing up and down with the Championship trophy and mocking Thomas Frank’s Brentford, telling him to mind the gap. It was 12 points at that stage, if you had forgotten.
The club tweeted the clip and deleted it, but not before, of course, the internet saved it for posterity. It’s clear which 41-second video will be front of mind when Pontus Jansson’s Brentford take to the field on Sunday.
