'If there's something going on outside the pitch he's still focused': Brentford boss Thomas Frank hails Ivan Toney's 'laser focus' as he puts his impending ban for betting breaches to one side to score from the spot in win over Fulham

Brentford boss Thomas Frank saluted 'unique' Ivan Toney after the striker's latest dazzling display.

Toney was on target again as Brentford boosted their bid for Europe by winning a feisty west London derby 3-2 against Fulham.

The striker took his tally for the season to 16 with another penalty to help sink the Bees' local rivals.

Unfortunately for Brentford and Toney, should they succeed in their unlikely quest to reach the Europa League, they may have to enter it without their talisman.

As exclusively revealed by Sportsmail, Toney is facing the prospect of a lengthy ban after being pleading guilty to the majority of the 262 charges for alleged breaches of the Football Association's gambling laws dating back to 2017.
