Villa skipper Petrov: We're now seeing Bent at his best

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Fri, 02/03/2012 - 11:11

Aston Villa captain Stiliyan Petrov has hailed the form of Darren Bent.

The England player has now been on target for the past four games to reach double figures for the season and in total has netted 19 times in 38 appearances for Villa.

Petrov said: "Darren is our main striker and, although he recently went through a spell when he wasn't scoring, there's no doubt we are once again seeing the Darren Bent we know best.

"To get to 100 Premier League goals is a great achievement.

"It is a remarkable personal milestone which not many players can claim to have done and he can be proud of that.

"Not that he will stop at a century, of course. Darren is perfectly capable of scoring many more and that can only be good news for Villa."
