The 18-year-old stopper saved two of the Golds' four spot kicks to help the Hornets win their Sussex Senior Cup third round tie 4-2 on penalties after the game finished 1-1. An unfortunate error from young Bentley on Saturday helped Margate grab their second goal in their 3-0 win at The Camping World Community Stadium in the BetVictor Premier Division. But Di Paola was delighted with the 'brilliant young keeper' for bouncing back with a hero's performance on Tuesday. He said: "He's a brilliant young keeper. He's going to have his ups and downs but we've seen a lot more ups. "There were a lot of mistakes against Littlehampton. Footballers are human and humans make mistakes. "For an 18-year-old he's been brilliant 90 to 95 per cent of the time. "He's under a lot of pressure as an 18-year-old especially being near the top at the level we're at. "He's going to have dips. We'll support him when he's good and support him when he's not so good."
