Middlesbrough 1-4 Brentford: Ivan Toney scores twice as Bees go second in Championship

Ivan Toney scored twice as Brentford came from a goal down to thump Middlesbrough and move up to second place in the Championship.

Boro got off to a great start as new signing Neeskens Kebano floated a dangerous cross in from a short corner which bounced in off Bees keeper David Raya, before Brentford's top scorer Toney side-footed his side level.

Boro hit the post shortly before half-time and Vitaly Janelt made them pay after the break as he shot in low from the edge of the box.

Mathias Jensen got Brentford's third as he pounced on Paddy McNair's slip on the halfway line and raced through, before Toney headed the fourth and his 22nd league goal of the season after Marcus Bettinelli had tipped Rico Henry's shot on to the bar.
