Sheffield Utd midfielder John Fleck delighted with goal for Arsenal draw

Sheffield United midfielder John Fleck was delighted to score in their 1-1 draw at Arsenal.

The goal was Fleck's fifth of the campaign, after a pre-season call from manager Chris Wilder for him to score more often.

The Scottish international said: “We stuck in there. We were sloppy on the ball at times, especially in the first half. We got in some very good areas at times but we couldn't find the final pass.

“It's a good sign for us that we can stay in games, especially at this level. We have the ability to grind out points and we've done it again. It's a good point for us.

“We play a different system to the one we have in previous years so I have licence to get forward more.

“It's always nice to score goals but most important thing is that we're picking up points.

“The change has suited me in terms of me getting forward and scoring goals, so hopefully there's more to come."
