Ivan Toney Hailed As Best Penalty Taker In The World

Toney dispatched his 10th top flight spot kick from 10 attempts in Brentford's 3-2 win over Fulham in the Premier League on Monday.

Only former Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure with 11 unblemished attempts from the spot has a better hundred percent penalty record than Toney in the history of the Premier League.

Toney has scored all 22 penalties he has taken in his Brentford career but has had to deal with off-field issues this season.

The 26-year-old has been charged with 262 counts of betting breaches over a four-year period by the Football Association and is facing a possible suspension from football.

"I take all the praise, it is solely me," Frank initially joked to Sky Sports. "No it is Ivan, that is the technique he had when he arrived at Brentford.

"He is the best penalty taker in the world for a few reasons, his strategy, he practices it and he is very cool. He keeps doing it all the same.

"It is a unique skill with him. This situation with the [betting] case going on, he has a unique ability to focus on games and training and he has kept doing that so that doesn't surprise me.

"He doesn't like the situation but he has top focus. He is a special footballer, I think his character is unique in terms of leadership and driving his team.

"His link-up play and the way he sees his team-mates around in terms of combinations and then his ability to score goals. He is an all-round football player."

Toney has scored 15 goals in 22 Premier League games for Brentford this season
