CHRIS SUTTON: Ivan Toney has mastered Eric Cantona's penalty stare... he is confident he will win the psychological battle against the goalkeeper and I watch on in awe

Eric Cantona used to stare at the goalkeeper when taking penalties. He'd wait for his opponent's knee to give away in the direction he was going, then duly stick the ball in the other side.

It's an amazing skill to have and one Ivan Toney has very much mastered.

Sunday's successful spot kick means he has scored 18 out of 19 penalties in his career, missing only against Barnsley in October 2018 for Peterborough.
