Sunderland boss O'Neill thrilled with Fletcher scoring form

Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill is delighted with the form of Steven Fletcher.

The Scot struck again in their 1-1 draw with West Ham United yesterday.

"I am obviously disappointed," manager O'Neill said. "We looked as if we had dealt with just about everything that had been thrown at us but we were never able to kill the game off.

"We had some great opportunities in the second half. West Ham were pressing forward and leaving the door open for us. We should have taken advantage of it. We should have won the game.

"Fletcher is playing brilliantly for us. He has scored all of our goals so far.

"He is bringing players into play, he is proving himself an all-round high quality centre forward."
