Brentford striker Toney delighted after 'very special' England goal

Brentford striker Ivan Toney was happy to score in England's 2-2 draw with Belgium.

Toney converted a penalty early into the first-half.

He said, "Very special to get on the scoresheet. We would've gone in on a little downer if we had lost the game but thankfully Jude got the goal and I felt we deserved something.

"You always have to stay calm from the penalty spot, you see the goalkeeper trying to put you off but I waited.

"I hope I did [impress] and I'm always trying to work hard. I support Ollie [Watkins], it is friendly competition and I wish him all the best when he goes on the pitch. Hopefully I did well today and gave myself a chance to put myself forward for the Euros.

"When you have class players around you it is easier. It's a joy to play with these players and hopefully I can play with them a lot more."
