Wigan Athletic boss Steve Bruce was delighted to see Amr Zaki score again in yesterday's 1-1 draw with Sunderland.

Bruce said: "He's got as good a goalscoring record as anyone in the world and I hope that will continue.

"It will be very difficult for him in the winter because he's used to playing in 30 degrees in Cairo every week. But he's got a fantastic attitude and mentality, he's a great boy and he's got an outstanding chance.

"I was recommended him by Wes Saunders, the former Newcastle scout, and that's where it started. A lot of people mocked me but I went out there and saw him score two and I had no hesitation."
