TONEY AT DOUBLE AFTER SAID’S GIFT
Brentford 2 Coventry 0
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.”
