Aston Villa rallies to beat Norwich 3-2

BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — England striker Darren Bent scored twice as Villa rallied to beat Norwich 3-2 in the Premier League on Saturday.

Strike partner Gabriel Agbonlahor set up both of Bent's goals and scored one himself.

Norwich took the lead at Villa Park through a superb free kick from Anthony Pilkington but Bent leveled before halftime.

Agbonlahor put Villa ahead after a mix-up in the 48th minute between Kyle Naughton and Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy.

Bent increased Villa's lead in the 62nd with a close-range strike after being picked out by Agbonlahor's low cross.

Steve Morrison got a second goal for Norwich in the 78th to give Villa a nervous finale.
