It was Ivan Toney’s day at the Etihad in the early Premier League kick-off. The Brentford forward bounced back from the disappointment of not making it to England’s World Cup squad by scoring a brace that saw his side defeat Manchester City 2-1.
Brentford showed no signs of timidity on their visit to the Premier League champions and opened the scoring in the 16th minute with an opportunistic header from Toney. Phil Foden’s half-volley levelled things going into halftime, but Brentford held firm against the relentless onslaught on their goal, and Toney grabbed the winner in the 8th minute of injury time.
