Villa fine with Bent going shopping

Aston Villa have no issue with injured striker Darren Bent undertaking some Christmas shopping during the latter stages of Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Liverpool.

Some Villa fans voiced their displeasure at a picture posted online of record signing Bent buying some Christmas presents.

But Press Association Sport understands Villa are completely relaxed about the situation.
