Speaking after the game to Matt Waters, Parkinson said: "There’s nobody else you want in the box other than Fletcher.

“When it comes to him he’s such a threat. I’m pleased for him but more importantly, Fletcher and Mullin work for the team really well.

“When you play a team that has such technical ability it’s that five yards of work and detail of when to press and both Fletcher and Mullin have the nous of how to do that."
