Connor Wickham: 'We need to keep creating for Steven Fletcher'

Sunderland striker Connor Wickham believes that he and his teammates need to keep feeding Steven Fletcher chances despite his rare misses against Leicester City.

Sunderland striker Connor Wickham is confident that if his teammates keep finding Steven Fletcher in the final third of the pitch he will fire them to victories in the Premier League.

The Scotland international has played a vital role in the Black Cats' two win this season, but spurned a couple of decent chances in their 0-0 draw against Leicester City on Saturday.

Wickham told the club's official website: "It was difficult towards the end but I think we dominated pretty much most of the game.

"We are creating chances so we just need to put them away, and nine times out times out of 10 Fletch puts chances like that away as we have all seen before.

"He is getting in the right positions and as long as we keep creating chances I'm sure it'll come for him."

Sunderland face Chelsea in their Premier League clash at the Stadium of Light this week.
