Canos: Toney so important to how Brentford play

Brentford midfielder Sergi Canos is full of praise for Ivan Toney after their draw with Aston Villa.

Toney struck his first Premier League goal on Saturday.

The 25-year-old more than filled the boots of Ollie Watkins last season and is now looking to take that next step.

"Toney played really well," said Canos. "He gives us a lot of good things and if he can top what he gives the team already with goals, that's amazing.

"What a finish. Every time he goes for a header, for a flick, he wins it. He gives so much — he gives us oxygen so we can breathe and have the ball a little bit."
