Darren Bent scored in his debut and Aston Villa won 1-0 Manchester City in a wonderful night at Villa Park. Carlos Cuéllar played the 90 minutes and worked very hard with his team mates, showed ther spirit of sacrifice.
In the second half, Mancini's men were allowed the majority of possession, but the equaliser never came. Dzeko had a more disappointing day than on his debut a week ago.
In the lat minutes, De Jong saw a shot deflected on to a post, Kompany had a similar effort diverted to safety by Carlos Cuéllar. It is the second winning goal Bent has scored against City this season. The fans were joyous at the final whistle and the players too.
A goal that earned three precious points for Gérard Houllier's team. It's the first league victory since October 31st and the first clean sheet since September.
