'If I speak I'm in big trouble!': Reece James aims a playful dig at Gareth Southgate for not picking Ivan Toney in his England World Cup squad after the Brentford forward's brilliant double to see off Manchester City

Chelsea star Reece James has aimed a playful dig at England boss Gareth Southgate for not picking Brentford striker Ivan Toney in his World Cup squad.

Toney just one day after not being picked for the Three Lions jetting off to Qatar put in a man of the match performance by notching two goals to help the Bees seal a shock 2-1 victory over Premier League champions Manchester City.

The former Peterborough United striker scored a header in the first-half, but his effort was cancelled out by Phil Foden as it looked as though they would have to settle for a draw.
