He was expected as the Messiah at Brentford. Sidelined for eight months by the English federation for a sports betting affair, Ivan Toney was in the Bees’ eleven this Saturday against Nottingham Forest. And as is often the case with the 27-year-old striker, we could expect goals and a nice show.
This assumption was finally confirmed after 19 minutes of play. While his team were trailing, the scorer equalized with a superb free kick. Ready to leave the club to join a bigger team across the Channel as he confirmed a few days ago, Toney signed his return to competition in the most beautiful way.
