PLAYER RATINGS: Brentford 2 Burnley 0

Ivan Toney’s late brace stung the Clarets as the Bees came out on top at the Brentford Community Stadium.

The former Peterborough United striker guided a header from Christian Eriksen’s cross past Nick Pope with just five minutes remaining.

The 25-year-old, who previously bagged a hat-trick away at Norwich City, then scored from the spot with the last kick of the game after Nathan Collins received Burnley’s first red card in 120 games.

The visitors had been wasteful in front of goal with Maxwel Cornet failing to convert from inside the box in both halves, Dwight McNeil got his header all wrong when getting on the end of Ashley Westwood’s delivery, while substitute Jay Rodriguez’s howitzer came back off the crossbar.

The result keeps Sean Dyche’s side buried in the bottom three, a point adrift of 17th place Everton, while the hosts hit the 30-point mark.
