Brentford 2-0 Burnley: Last-gasp Ivan Toney double snatches three points for Thomas Frank's side in crucial battle to avoid the drop

Brentford pulled themselves nine points clear of the relegation zone after two late Ivan Toney goals gave them a crucial win against fellow strugglers Burnley on Saturday.

With the match goalless in the 85th minute in a crucial game with both sides looking to beat the drop from the Premier League this season, Christian Eriksen conjured a superb cross onto Bees striker Toney's head for the opener.

Burnley defender Nathan Collins then clumsily barged over Toney inside the area, receiving a deserved straight red card, and the home side's talisman picked himself up and found the net coolly for his fifth goal in two matches.
