Ivan Toney celebrates scoring for Brentford against Stoke in the Carabao Cup

Brentford reached the Carabao Cup quarter-finals for the second successive season after winning at Championship side Stoke City for the first time.

Last season's semi-finalists went ahead when Ivan Toney set up Sergi Canos to drill home following a corner.

Toney followed up his assist with a goal of his own as the forward made it three for the season when he slotted home from 12 yards for a much-changed Brentford side.

Stoke knocked out Watford in the previous round but were unable to add a second Premier League scalp, despite reducing the deficit through a fine finish from the edge of the box by former Bees player Romaine Sawyers.
