After his winner against Everton, Brentford manager Thomas Frank called Ivan Toney the best penalty taker in the world.

With his 19th successful spot-kick out of 20 tries, the forward maintained his superb record from 12 yards.

Toney scored his fifth goal of the season following an usually relaxed run-up to the 24th-minute kick, but his boss feels he is a true example of practice makes perfect.

"Frank" stated:

“He is the world's best penalty taker and he proved it again against (Jordan) Pickford, who I think is a good keeper in terms of saving penalties.

“Goal, no problem and the good thing I like about Ivan is you need to be strong, composed and to have a personality where you like the pressure to take penalties. He is like this.

“But if you want to maintain your level at something, you need to practise it and he is practising every single day. That is why he is so good."
