Olympiakos midfielder Canos thanks ex-Brentford teammates after honouring late mother

Olympiakos midfielder Sergi Canos has thanked his former Brentford team-mates for they honoured his late mother who passed away earlier in the week during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Arsenal.

Canos left for Olympiakos in the January transfer window but clearly maintains a close relationship with his colleagues in London.

Brentford striker Ivan Toney dedicated his goal to Canos' mother after equalising against Arsenal at the Emirates on Saturday, as the Premier League leaders suffered another slip in their race for the title.

Toney ran towards their bench and was surrounded by his team-mate's as he held up a blue Brentford shirt donned with the words 'we are all with you Sergi', as well as a love heart.

Canos responded by tweeting 'You are THANK YOU' with a broken heart and a sad face emoji as he recognised the efforts of his Brentford friends.
