After 260 days out, Toney steers the Bees to an important victory
Brentford 3-2 Nottingham Forrest

at Brentford Community Stadium
AFTER 260 days out, Brentford striker and talisman Ivan Toney returned to Premier League action with a superb goal to steer his side to an important victory, while further showcasing his abilities to possible suitors.
In front of a sell-out crowd of 17,077, the talented 27-year-old looked incredibly sharp and alert throughout this enthralling match that lasted, with adds-ons, more than 100 minutes of intense football in total.
It was credit to Toney’s determined commitment to conditioning during what could have been a debilitating ban, physically and emotionally, that he played such a vital part in the Bees’ stirring triumph.
