Last season, in the last game of the ‘play off’, Fulham left Brentford with promotion to the Premier to centimeters. Much of the blame for their wonderful season was the ‘BMW’, a tremendous scoring trio formed by Benrahma, Mbeumo and Watkins. The first and third did rise, as they were signed by West Ham and Aston Villa, respectively. The London club continues to do things well this year and already has a new diamond that aims to follow in their footsteps: Ivan Toney.
We are talking about a boy for whom they were already asking for 15 million euros in the third English category and who has broken thrashing to have his team back in the ointment to go up (right now he is at a point of direct promotion).
Brentford’s top scorer stands out especially for having pierced the goal of 13 different rivals with his 16 goals this course. There is not a footballer in all of Europe who has scored so many different opponents. In this section it surpasses ‘killers’ consecrated as Ciro Immobile (9 goals to 9 teams), current Golden Boot, Romelu Lukaku (11 goals to 9 teams), Kylian Mbappé (12 goals to 9 teams), Mohamed Salah (13 goals to 9 teams) or Robert Lewandowski (17 goals to 9 teams).
That he Championship It is one of the toughest and most demanding championships in Europe, we will not discover it now. Perhaps that is why it is so interesting that five of his footballers They are among those that have scored the most different teams so far this season between the first and second divisions of Spain, England, Germany, Italy and France. A milestone that speaks a lot and very well of the offensive arsenal that the entities of this league have.
Follows closely Lucas Joao (27 years, 11 goals), one of his many rivals in the English Second Division. The forward of the Reading he has endorsed a goal to each of the 11 clubs he has scored in 2020-21, ahead of the Spanish Raúl de Tomás (12 goals to 10 teams), which closes the podium of a Top-12 plagued by Championship attackers. One of them, Adam Armstrong (23, Blackburn Rovers), Toney’s main pursuer, has scored 15 goals to 10 different teams.
It is also worth mentioning the extreme Andre Ayew (31 years old), from Swansea, already Cauley Woodrow (26 years old), from Barnsley, both with 8 goals to 8 different squads. Figures that show how difficult it has been to make doubles and hat tricks in the Championship, but also the good sense of smell that his forwards enjoy. We could consider, therefore, even normal that the struggle for promotion to the Premier League it tightens so much year yes and year too.
