Brentford boss Thomas Frank defended Ivan Toney after their 0-0 draw with Fulham.

Toney again struggled in front of goal on the day.

Frank said: There are spells for any striker where they don't score in a period of time and then they'll do it again.

"Ivan is a top player and he will score again soon. He's been out with injury. I think he was average last week and took a step forward this week.

"Both games we haven't been fantastic offensively so even when Messi was top it was very rare. The team need to click as well."
