BRYAN MBEUMO and Yoane Wissa once again stepped up in the absence of Ivan Toney as they fired Brentford to a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace today.

Toney was missing from the Bees squad, with head coach Thomas Frank admitting he had been left out amid “transfer interest.”

“There are various things going on with Ivan with transfer rumours and activity and because of all that we decided not to include him in the squad,” said Frank.
