Aleksandar Mitrovic jokes he is former Newcastle team-mate Ivan Toney's 'IDOL' after the Brentford striker mimicked the Serbian star's celebration after scoring in their 3-2 defeat at Fulham

Aleksandar Mitrovic has joked he is Ivan Toney's 'idol' after the Brentford striker mimicked his celebration after scoring against the Serbian's Fulham.

Mitrovic previously played with English striker Toney at Newcastle United, but their paths crossed on opposing sides of the west London derby.

After pulling the Bees back to 2-2 with 20 minutes to go, by dispatching a low ball past Bernd Leno, the 26-year-old Toney copied the Serbian's trademark “twirl of the fingers round the ear” celebration.

However, the 27-year-old Mitrovic had the last laugh, making home advantage count with a 90th minute winner from a header - his third goal of the season so far.
