TONEY AT DOUBLE AFTER SAID’S GIFT

Brentford 2 Coventry 0

- By Hector Nunns

THOMAS FRANK admitted it was time for Said Benrahma to move on but hailed a unique parting gesture.

Two second-half goals from Ivan Toney (right) came 24 hours after winger Benrahma moved to West Ham on a season’s loan with an obligation to buy next year.

But there were smiles around the stadium with Benrahma having distribute­d a £50,000 loyalty bonus among 100 club staff.

Boss Frank said:

“It was great to see Ivan get two more goals.

“With Said, I think it was the right time for him to make the move.

“It was a top gesture for him to distribute the bonus. He has a big heart.” City boss Mark Robins said: “They got the rub of the green.”
