'Match-winner Fletcher was outstanding'

Sunday, October 05 2014 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    Reaction after Sunderland pick up their first English Premier League win of the season with a 3-1 victory over Stoke, thanks to a Steven Fletcher brace.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Gus Poyet, Sunderland manager (Q: Conor Wickham and Steven Fletcher scored the goals, how pleased are you that it was those guys who scored?)

    "Well I'm very pleased for Fletch (Steven Fletcher) because I know how hard it was for him to be in the situation where a few weeks ago I left him out of the squad. Decisions, like I always say, and he was not happy. He took it professionally, kept working, the previous week before we played Swansea we were able to see something special in Fletch, he was coming back in training to his best. He had the chance to score the other day against Swansea and this week he was outstanding."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Mark Hughes, Stoke City manager (Q: Disappointed with that Mark?)

    "Not great from us today to be perfectly honest. Didn't really defend correctly or with any kind of purpose in that opening period and as a consequence we gave up two goals, two really easy goals. Sunderland to their credit were able to win the game quite comfortably, we didn't ask enough questions of them. I think they've probably had three strikes on goal, scored three goals, but really we didn't create enough ourselves."
