Premier League round-up: Ivan Toney strikes again as Brentford defeat Wolves, Sheffield United win against Luton

Ivan Toney's goal tally for Brentford since his return from a eight-month suspension has hit three goals in four matches.

The striker received the ban from football after breaching the FA’s gambling rules, missing the end of last season and a large chunk of Brentford’s 2023-24 campaign.

He has hit the ground running since his return, scoring in Premier League fixtures against Nottingham Forest and Tottenham.

Toney then scored in Brentford’s 2-0 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Saturday fternoon, adding to Christian Nørgaard’s first-half opener in the 77th minute.

It was Brentford’s first away victory since October, and keeps them six points away from the relegation zone.

Sheffield United secured a crucial victory against Luton in their own relegation battle, with goals from Cameron Archer, James McAtee and Vini Souza giving the Blades a 3-1 victory at Kenilworth Road.

The goals from Archer and McAtee had given Sheffield a two-goal lead for the first time in the Premier League this season, but Carlton Morris scored a penalty in the 52nd minute to half the deficit for Luton. Souza’s well-taken goal in the 72nd minute secured Sheffield’s third win of the campaign, however.

The Blades still languish bottom of the Premier League table with 13 points, while Luton are just one point above the relegation zone in 17th.

A mid-table encounter between Fulham and Bournemouth saw the Cottagers triumph 3-1 in front of a home crowd.

Bobby De Cordova-Reid scored an early goal for Fulham in the fifth minute, before Rodrigo Muniz doubled his team’s lead to give them a 2-0 advantage going into half-time.

Marcos Senesi pulled one back for Bournemouth in the 50th minute, but Muniz scored his second goal of the game just moments later.

Fulham leapfrogged Bournemouth into 12th place after the victory, condemning the Cherries to 13th.

Elsewhere, Liverpool maintained their place at the top of the table with a 3-1 win against Burnley, while Manchester City kept up the pressure with a 2-0 result against Everton.

There was also last minute drama at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Brennan Johnson scoring a late winner against Brighton deep into additional time.
