Brentford defender Ajer: Toney produced best striker performance I've ever seen

Brentford defender Kristoffer Ajer hailed Ivan Toney after his goalscoring performance in victory at Wolves.

Toney was the star of the show but a collective defensive effort was needed after the break in order for the Bees to claim their first Premier League away win.

“Ivan's performance, for me being involved in the game, it's maybe the best I've ever seen from a striker," Ajer said.

“He kept the ball up there, he won every single duel, he scored, had an assist, he was fantastic in his performance.

“You look at Bryan (Mbeumo) as well, the way they linked up. We were defending sometimes with five at the back so you need someone to keep the ball further away.

“They work so hard together and helped keep the ball every single time so it makes it easier for us."
