Darragh MacAnthony is over the moon that former Peterborough United striker Ivan Toney has reached the Premier League with Brentford.

Brentford have got the better of Swansea City 2-0 at Wembley Stadium in the Championship playoff final today.

Toney scored the opening goal of the game from the penalty spot in the 10th minute.

The star striker was also denied by the frame of the Brentford goal later in the first half.

Toney joined Brentford from Peterborough last summer.

The Bees paid Posh an initial transfer fee of £5 million, according to Sky Sports, who added that it could rise to a maximum of £10 million with add-ons.

Peterborough president MacAnthony is delighted to see Brentford get promoted to the Premier League due to the finance, as shown below on Twitter.

Toney has been superb for Brentford this season.

The striker has scored 33 goals and given 10 assists in 48 Championship matches for the Bees this campaign.

It will be interesting to see how Toney does in the Premier League next season.

Meanwhile, Peterborough will play in the Championship next season after winning automatic promotion from League One.
