The Gunners returned to the top of the Premier League as they swept past the Bees at the Brentford Community Stadium, with goals from William Saliba, Gabriel Jesus and Fabio Vieira sealing a comfortable three-pointer. Getty The top-flight Gunners sit top of the Premier League with 18 points from a possible 21 And Gabriel couldn’t resist taking a jab at Toney post match It was a markedly different result to the corresponding fixture last season, where Brentford won 2-0 in their first Premier League game. After that win, Toney tweeted “Nice kicking with the boys”, with Arteta showing the message to his players ahead of the reverse fixture at the Emirates Stadium. It had the desired effect as Arsenal won 2-1, Alexandre Lacazette posted the exact same phrase to mock Toney’s earlier tweet. Gabriel followed suit after his weekend win, again posting: “Nice kick with the boys” – but this time Toney didn’t see the funny side. “I think one time it was funny, the second time it was a bit terrible,” he joked. “I bit my tongue, I wanted to answer and I wanted to bite. “But fair play to them, it’s a different Arsenal team to the one we played before.”

	Toney spoke about Gabriel’s tweet ahead of his potential England debut

Toney will be hoping to tweet his England debut after earning his first call-up following a fine start to the campaign with the Bees. England travel to Milan to face Italy in the Nations League on Friday before hosting Germany at Wembley three days later, with both games live on talkSPORT. “So surreal,” Toney added when asked how it felt to be in and around the team preparing for the games. “I feel like sitting here at the top of England is such a privilege and it’s massive for me and my family and also for my team. “It’s not just me, but everyone around me has played a huge role.”
