Darren Bent, former England international and Tottenham Hotspur forward, is a proper forward’s forward. The 32-year-old has scored over 200 goals in his career, and he doesn’t faff about around the net. So when the football made its way to him on his own goal line, he did what Tommy Smyth is apparently talking about when he says put a bulge in the old onion bag.
He bulged that bag with a left-footed slice that had Lionel Messi beaming from ear to ear. That’s how you use your left, son! Get in!
Not the best way to start the game for Derby County. #FACup #DERLEI https://t.co/WTavPXlyOh

For those that still harbor traces of the quickly fading notions of things like sympathy and compassion in today’s day and age, rest assured knowing Bent scored a goal for his own side only 13 minutes later. What a story.
One on each end for Darren Bent.
