Ivan Toney hilariously memed his own no-look penalty – and hit the back of the net again
If you saw the penalties that sent England through to the semi-final, you may still be thinking about how Brentford striker Ivan Toney took his without even once looking at the ball.
If you missed it, it’s well worth a watch.
Not looking at the ball? No problem!

I keep watching Ivan Toney’s penalty, it’s absolutely outrageous to take a pen like that in those circumstances. The self-confidence is incredible.
I know it’s how he always takes them, but still… pic.twitter.com/gSUIIC4fXW

Everyone applauding Ivan Toney for his no look penalty, but when I have a no look piss in the toilet the wife goes absolutely fucking mental…..
It's one rule for pampered millionaire footballers and another for me.#EURO2024 #ivantoney#ENGSUI #piss

Ivan featured in this episode of the Diary Room, which shares behind-the-scenes snippets and insights from the squad – and the first few moments are comedy gold.

People loved the jokes – perhaps not as much as they loved the penalty, but still …

It could (slightly) be tempting fate.
Can’t help but think maybe we should have waited until there were no further shootout possibilities before doing this https://t.co/c8pR41vPuk

Here’s a word from Specsavers’ excellent social media manager.
His no look eye test is unreal
