Thomas Frank hails Ivan Toney as the best penalty taker in the world

Brentford manager Thomas Frank has praised Ivan Toney for his penalty-taking ability.

The Bees picked up three points today against Norwich City, winning 3-1, which saw the 25-year-old score a hat-trick, with two of those being from the penalty spot.

"I think he was not only for the three goals but in general he top performed today," Frank told the press.

"You need in a game like this that your top players perform and he did that. First one was a well-worked set-piece where he was in the position he had to be and then two penalties.

"The second one he gets himself and I have said many, many times the more penalties he scores, the closer we are to the truth that he is the best penalty taker in the world with the coolness and the strategy."

Brentford will be back in action on Saturday against Burnley.
