Regardless, Toney was still left out of Gareth Southgate’s squad.
But he dusted himself down to score twice in a shock win at The Etihad.
Toney’s first-half header looked to have only earned the Bees just a point after Phil Foden fired home a fine equaliser on the stroke of half-time.
But he had other ideas, tapping home in the eighth minute of added-time.
