Aston Villa matchwinner Darren Bent was thrilled with a goal on debut in victory over Manchester City.
Bent began repaying his £24 million transfer fee with the only goal of the game yesterday.
"It was a difficult game, they always say the first goal is the most important and we got it early," he told ESPN. "It's been a hard week but these are the occasions we enjoy and I'm going to enjoy it tonight."
Villa had to withstand heavy pressure in the second half and Richard Dunne praise the performance of his central defensive partner James Collins.
"James Collins was brilliant and we defended well as a team," he added.
