Newcastle thrash Brentford but must wait to discover their European fate

with their first-half goal glut securing seventh place but Eddie Howe must still wait to discover whether his team will play in Europe next season. Their attention turns to hoping Manchester City win the FA Cup next weekend which would hand Newcastle a place in the Europa Conference League.

Toney appeared to end his goal drought, stretching back to February for Brentford, after side-footing home from Bryan Mbeumo’s cross in the second minute but VAR intervened with the Cameroon attacker offside. The same Brentford pair combined again shortly afterwards, following a loose pass from Lewis Hall, with Mbeumo sliding Toney in but the striker’s shot was parried by Nick Pope.

“I think he’s a little bit different and Ivan, even when he played two or three games for England, if you throw him on the pitch for a quarter-final or semi-final he’s the man for the big occasion. He’s also probably the best penalty taker in the world.”
