Brentford manager Thomas Frank is confident Ivan Toney will start scoring in the Premier League soon.
The forward struck 31 times in the Sky Bet Championship last season to set a new record for the division, but squandered two decent opportunities during Saturday's goalless draw with Crystal Palace.
Frank said: “Yeah, 100 per cent Ivan will score goals. I felt again he had a fantastic work ethic, he worked so hard under pressure and was a constant threat throughout the game.
“I know he will be tough on himself because he knows he should have scored, especially one of the big chances on the corner. That would have been a beautiful 1-0 away win but I know he will give us some goals at another time."
Frank did not agree with the notion the tall attacker was too eager against Palace after he headed one close-range effort over having seen an earlier attempted header come off his shoulder.
“I don't think he tried too hard, I don't think so. It will come," the Bees boss insisted.
“Sometimes we lacked a situation where we played him an even bigger chance as a finisher. Of course there were the two set-piece actions.
“He had a very decisive action where he squared it across goal in the second half and having watched it back maybe Bryan Mbeumo should be there so I think he was still very efficient. And I am 100 per cent sure he will score soon."
