Brentford boss Thomas Frank says buying a replacement for Ivan Toney won't be necessary.

Bryan Mbeumo (2) and Yoane Wissa struck in victory at Tottenham for the first game of Toney's eight month suspension for placing bets.

"They will score goals for us, we know that, no doubt about that," the Bees boss said.

Of course, it's a massive gap [to fill]. Ivan is a unique player, he has been our talisman for three seasons, he has scored 20 goals this season in the Premier League.

So you don't replace him, but we can hopefully do something that can be close to as good - different - and there were good signs of it today.

We, of course, need to do it more and more consistently, but there were good signs of it today."
