Former England captain Alan Shearer said he was impressed by Amr Zaki's abilities following the Egyptian's brace for Wigan against Liverpool in the Premiership.

Zaki was the star man at Anfield after scoring twice despite his side's 3-2 defeat on Sunday.

"I thought he was awesome, I though he had everything great about a centre forward," said Shearer after the game.

Zaki has earlier been likened to the English legend by Wigan chairman Dave Whelan, saying they are both well-built and have many skills in common.

The former Mansoura man put the Latics twice in the lead twice, before Dirk Kuyt and Albert Riera led the Reds to a hard-fought win.

What's more, the former Blackburn and Newcastle star said the Zaki's second goal was a joy to behold.

"To get a volley like that on target let alone score was a sensational effort."

"He has a list of things all good about a centre forward and he gave Carragher an uncomfortable afternoon all day," added Shearer.
