Sunderland striker Fletcher: Being dropped was frustrating

Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher is delighted to be back on the scoresheet.

The Scot struck twice in victory over Stoke City on Saturday.

"It has been a frustrating time," Fletcher said.

"I feel like I've been doing quite well in training so when you are not in the squad it is very frustrating but I've just had to keep my head down and take my chance when I got it and I did that."
