Fletcher brace helps Black Cats hold Swans

Steven Fletcher's first goals for Sunderland ended Swansea's 100% start to the League season in a dramatic 2-2 draw.

Fletcher started to repay his big-money fee following his move from Wolves as he struck twice in the first half, either side of Wayne Routledge's effort for Swansea. Michu scored his fourth goal in three games for the hosts to level matters but they then lost defender Chico Flores to a red card for a wild high challenge as the game ended all square. But prior to all that action, Taylor had already been carted off on a stretcher after his leg buckled awkwardly under him following a challenge with Craig Gardner. The incident could barely have come at a worse time for Swans boss Michael Laudrup, just a day after the transfer window closed.
