HAT TRICK HERO: Darren Bent celebrates his 17th goal of the season, and his first of three strikes in the 4-0 win over Bolton at the Stadium of Light last night. The striker's second half hat trick sparked frenzied celebrations at the SoL - as he threw his shirt in the air! The victory ended a 14 game win-less run for the Black Cats and he became the first Sunderland player to score three since Marcus Stewart against Watford in 2005 and the first in the top-flight since Kevin Phillips' second half treble against Bradford at Valley Parade on Boxing Day 2000.
