Sunderland striker Fletcher pleased with current scoring form

Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher is delighted with his new goalscoring form.

The Scotland striker netted twice at Crystal Palace to lift the Black Cats out of the bottom three with their first away win of the season.

Fletcher said: "I have said to the boys ever since I have been here: I need chances.

"And if I get them, hopefully I will take them. I am happy with the two goals."

Poyet added: "He has been like that since he came back into the team. It is up to us to create for him. He is a finisher."
