Lita: Hard work the key

LEROY LITA insists his emergence as the Premiership’s hottest young striker is down to nothing but hard work.

The 22-year-old has netted 10 goals in his last 10 games, including a timely equaliser for England U-21s in the 2-2 draw with Spain on Tuesday night.

His current productivity is a far cry from a barren spell earlier in the season when he was in and out of the team and was also the centre of a police investigation into an incident in a Bristol nightclub.
