Thomas Frank speaks out on incident after Aston Villa match involving Ivan Toney

Brentford boss Thomas Frank has responded to Ivan Toney and Nathan Collins’ heated exchange at the end of the match against Aston Villa.

The pair were angrily disagreeing with each other after the full-time whistle at Villa Park, with Toney seemingly unhappy about Collins not passing to him. Asked what it was about, Frank said: “I don’t know, I was over there speaking to them but I don’t know exactly what it was and I don’t really care.

“I know it is two very competitive people that want to win a match. I don’t know exactly what it was the situation, but we have a very good culture and a united team and it is OK to have a little bit of friction. They will sort it out no problem.”

“Fantastic game and brand for the Premier League, this is showing why it is the best league in the world and the most entertaining,” Frank added, speaking about the 3-3 draw. “Probably Unai and I would say we both should have won the game, both can argue well for why we should, OK in the end it’s a fair result.

“I think it is a fine point but it is two points dropped when we are leading in that situation and we haven’t been able to get over the line. But the performance is another step in the right direction.”
