van Toney nets sensational hat-trick as Bees win seven-goal thriller

By DailySports Nigeria on September 3, 2022

It was the Ivan Toney show in west London as his stunning hat-trick earned Brentford a 5-2 win over Leeds in a breathless game at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Toney netted a superb treble of his own as a penalty, free-kick and 30-yard chip saw his one-man masterclass down a Leeds side who otherwise largely matched their hosts, and saw a frustrated Jesse Marsch sent off shortly after his third.

Lucas Sinisterra's foul on the Bees striker, awarded after a VAR review, lit the touchpaper as Toney got to his feet to keep up his 100-per-cent record from the penalty spot to send Ilan Meslier the wrong way after half an hour.

That put him one goal off 50 for the Bees - with all 49 coming from inside the box - and he celebrated reaching his half-century as he shocked the Gtech with a 25-yard free-kick which left Meslier rooted to the spot.

Sinisterra gave Leeds hope moments before the break when latching onto Ben Mee's poor header and finishing smartly, but Toney restored the two-goal lead with a hat-trick goal of real composure, latching onto a dreadful clearance from Meslier before bringing the ball inside and chipping it into the unguarded net.

Leeds could have had a penalty of their own as substitute Crysencio Summerville went down in the box, but after a VAR check cleared Aaron Hickey, Marsch was sent to the stands for his language directed towards fourth official Keith Stroud.

From there he would see Marc Roca bring Leeds back into the game again with a sliding finish from Luke Ayling's cross, but he would have been left apoplectic again as Diego Llorente's dreadful header allowed Bryan Mbeumo in to net a fourth 10 seconds after the restart.

Brentford were still not done and substitute Yoane Wissa celebrated his 25th birthday by netting a last-minute fifth after catching Llorente on the ball, as the Bees wrapped up a first win over Leeds in five attempts.
