Aston Villa's record signing Darren Bent scores on debut

Striker Darren Bent, who joined Aston Villa for a club record fee of 18 million pounds ($28.62 million) this week, scored after 18 minutes of his debut against Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday.   

The England international, who joined Villa from Sunderland on Tuesday, swept the ball home from six metres out after City goalkeeper Joe Hart could only push Ashley Young's shot into his path.

Bent also scored on his debuts for both Charlton Athletic and Sunderland.
