Brentford make light of Ivan Toney absence to see off Crystal Palace
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.
Toney was missing from the Bees squad, with head coach Thomas Frank admitting he had been left out amid “transfer interest”.
But just as they had throughout much of the forward’s eight-month ban for breaching betting rules last season, Mbeumo and Wissa filled the void in the Brentford attack to get their season up and running.
Name a better duo
We’ll wait
