Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill is gushing with praise for top scorer Steven Fletcher.

O'Neill believes that Fletcher could slot into any attacking line-up following a goal-filled start to the campaign.

The frontman has scored with all five of his shots on target so far this season and was on the mark again with the winning goal against Wigan.

"That's five goals for Fletcher now - he's our only scorer at the moment which is something we're hoping to rectify," O'Neill told safc.com.

"He's been magnificent; the crowd have taken to him and rightly so. He looks as though he could play for anybody in this Barclays Premier League."
