Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic admits Aston Villa striker Darren Bent's header was outstanding.
Stoke were sitting pretty on an early Kenwyne Jones's 20th-minute effort when Bent flashed his header in off the keeper's right-hand post.
"We played pretty well first half and it was disappointing to go in at 1-1," the giant Bosnian goalkeeper told The Sentinel.
"If the ball was going to beat me, it was going to go there. It was good placement and the ball nipped off the ground.
"Bent has got quality in the box and gets on the end of them like that.
"We knew Villa had their strengths and would try to get the ball into the box - and that's how they scored."
