Steven Fletcher thinks that Sunderland's victory at Fulham is long overdue reward for putting in hard work in training and praises the impact of strike partner Stephane Sessegnon.

Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher has expressed his relief for strike partner Stephane Sessegnon after both men were on the scoresheet against Fulham today.

Fletcher registered for the first time since September to give the Black Cats the lead at Craven Cottage before Sessegnon sealed the points late on with a rasping drive from range.

The Scottish poacher believes that both men can build upon a positive display to move up the table if they continue to work hard in training.

He said: "It was a relief to get a goal and get the three points. It really has been coming.

"Sessegnon has been working very hard and he's been playing brilliantly so it's fantastic."

Victory at Craven Cottage was Sunderland's first away success of the season and only their second win of the campaign to date.
