Brentford 2-0 Brighton & Hove Albion: Ivan Toney underlines England credentials with two goals

Ivan Toney underlined his England credentials with two goals as Brentford returned to winning ways against Brighton in the Premier League.

While Brighton have enjoyed several excellent results on their travels this season, they struggled for fluidity and incisiveness against high-energy opponents led superbly by Toney on his 100th appearance for the Bees.

The hosts had already seen Bryan Mbeumo's improvised volley cannon off the visitors' crossbar by the time Toney opened the scoring with a wonderful backheeled flick from Frank Onyeka's pass from the right.

With Brighton searching for an equaliser after the break, Toney then doubled their advantage, going down under Joel Veltman's crude challenge from behind and getting up to convert his eighth successive top-flight penalty.
