The 'cheeky' 28-year-old has been living up to his reputation for seemingly instinctive natural talents while relaxing at England's training camp in Germany - according to a new video posted on social media.
Ivan Toney won widespread praise for his 'no-look' penalty in England's flawless shoot-out victory over Switzerland in the Euros on Saturday. The striker already had a reputation for performing the trick - in which he fixes his stare on the opposing goalkeeper instead of looking in the direction of his kick or the goal - for his club side Brentford.
' Toney said his technique had been inspired by former Manchester United star Paul Pogba, who takes penalties with a slow run-up. However, despite his starring role in England's shoot-out triumph, Toney has had minimal game time for England during the tournament so far. Manager Gareth Southgate previously revealed the player had been 'disgusted' when he was only brought on as a substitute in the dying seconds of normal time in England's last-16 clash against Slovakia.
