'I just didn't see them how they used to be': Brentford striker Ivan Toney MOCKS Arsenal by stating he was surprised by their lack of quality in opening day victory for the Bees

Brentford striker Ivan Toney has launched a brutal attack on Arsenal by playing down his side's victory over the Gunners last month and saying Mikel Arteta's side won't win anything 'anytime soon'.

The Bees won 2-0 against their north London opponents on the opening day of the Premier League season on August 13 through goals by Sergi Canos and Christian Norgaard, the first of three straight defeats greeting Arsenal at the start of this season.

Toney put in a man-of-the-match display by being a constant thorn for Gunners defenders Ben White and Pablo Mari on the night, with the 25-year-old striker admitting he was surprised by the lack of quality the Gunners showed that evening.
