Villa Gets Past Man City with Bent's Foot

Can you believe it?  Darren Bent gets signed and in his first game with the Villa, he scores his first Villa goal and it turns out to be the game winner.  As we watched, holding our breath every second, we joked about how that was the 24M goal and IT WAS WORTH IT.  The defense also withstood the desperate onslaught of shots being taken by Man City in the final 20 or so minutes

These 3 points have the potential to turn our season around.  There should be a ton of momentum and confidence.  First win in that last 11 games.  It's been a looooooooooong time.   UP THE VILLA!
