Brentford boss Thomas Frank is delighted to have Ivan Toney back.

Toney struck in his comeback game from his betting ban as Brentford defeated Nottingham Forest 3-2.

Frank said, "I think he was impressively good, I must say. He has been out for eight months, he has been fit and training but he has not played a Premier League game for a very long time, so sometimes you need to grow into it.

"He is the man for the big occasion, he doesn't feel the pressure. Of course he is still a human being so today there was a little extra nerves and butterflies in the stomach but when the game kicks off you switch on and he just plays the football he loves.

"He was ever-present. The link up play, the hold-up play, the way he set up his team-mates. He was involved in the winning goal, and involved in big chances. OK player, yeah?"

On his words to Toney pre-match, he added: "I just said, 'Good to have you back, enjoy it.'"
