Fletcher credits his French connection

STEVEN FLETCHER credits a stint in Marseille for changing his game after scoring in Stoke’s 2- 0 victory over Luton.

The Scot, below, says the loan spell in France in 2016 improved him.

“It opened my eyes to a different way of playing,” he said.

“I was used to people saying I just was a target man who chased his own flick- ons, but there I got used to actually playing football.”

Ivan Toney struck twice in Brentford’s 2- 0 victory over Coventry as he again made replacing Ollie Watkins look easy.

“No pressure on me then – being brought in to replace Ollie, a man who got 25 goals last season,” quipped Toney.

“But there’s a lot of quality here and I know they can find me.”

Millwall fielded six players over 6ft and used that to beat

Wycombe 2- 1.

Defender Jake Cooper said: “We spoke about our ability from set pieces and our height is a big advantage.”

Bristol City and

Reading both lost their perfect records with draws at Barnsley ( 2- 2) and Middlesbrough

( 0- 0) respectively but remain level at the top on 13 points.
