Soccer: Bent puts more pressure on Capello

With Fabio Capello edging ever closer to deciding on his squad for the World Cup next summer, Darren Bent is doing all he can to force his way into the Italian's plans.

The Sunderland striker might have struggled to impose himself in the friendly against Brazil but he keeps finding the net in the Premier League. Arsenal were the latest to pay the price, falling to a 1-0 defeat on Saturday thanks to Bent's 71st minute effort.

It was the former Tottenham man's ninth league goal of the campaign and the victory leaves the Black Cats hot on the heels of the top six. This kind of form is sure to keep Bent in Capello's thoughts.
