Brentford manager Thomas Frank has called his side's 5-2 win over Leeds United 'fantastic' as an Ivan Toney hat-trick secured all three points for the Bees.
Toney found his first two after just 43 minutes before Luis Sinisterra finished past David Raya just on the stroke of half-time. However, Toney found his third just 13 minutes after the break to make it 3-1.
A goal from Marc Roca made it 3-2 but Leeds immediately conceded to Bryan Mbuemo and a late Yoane Wissa finish meant the Bees leapfrogged Leeds in the table to seventh whilst the Whites dropped to ninth.

Speaking after the game, Frank gave his account of how the game panned out but admitted that Jesse Marsch's men were better than them in certain aspects.
“Today, we managed to score five goals, that’s the first time in the Premier League, which is crazy. We were such a threat going forward.
“I think we started the game fantastic, front-footed, energy, pressing, creating chances. We go in front, it was well deserved and, after that, I think between the boxes Leeds were a bit better than us.
“They were on the ball more and their four front four are really good between the lines, I must say. But they didn't create anything in the first half. I know they scored the goal, but it was a bouncing ball that dropped. We need to do better in that situation.
“Second half, we were so dangerous on counter-attacks and created so many opportunities, and we also scored some goals there. That killed the game off.
“I think that Leeds did well, I must say that. Our lower defending needs to be better and we gave too many chances away compared to what we normally do in those situations, so that's the thing we need to improve.
“I also said that with counter-attacks and set-pieces, if we did those well today, we win the game.”
