Roberto Martinez paid tribute to midfielder Mohamed Diame after his stunning strike helped Wigan to a 1-1 draw against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.Diame fired the Latics in front with a powerful 20th-minute effort before Kenwyne Jones rescued a point for the hosts in the second half.Martinez said: "I am sure he was surprised as well because I haven't seen him striking the ball like that before."But he deserved that because he works extremely hard for the team."Momo is settling in the Premier League with ease, which is a great compliment because playing in that position, it is full of athletes in the Premier League and he is enjoying his football."To see him striking a ball as clean as that, it was a great finish."
