Russell Martin says Joel Piroe's second goal at Wigan Athletic perfectly encapsulated the current ethos of Swansea City.
The Swans dominated the first half against the Latics and, having already netted after 14 minutes, Piroe rounded off a stunning team move before half-time to put the visitors 2-0 up at the DW Stadium.
It took the Dutchman to 41 goals for the Swans while he now has 17 in all competitions for the club this season, and Martin admits he was left in awe at the way his side went from back to front to get their second of the afternoon against Shaun Maloney's outfit.

"I really enjoyed it," Martin said. "We watched their performances before this game and some of the results, they've been really unfortunate.
"The only disappointment is we don't get the third goal to really kill the game off but I'm really proud of the players. Back-to-back clean sheets, we looked really strong defensively and gave them very little and created so many good openings for ourselves, we're just disappointed we didn't quite convert them into goals.
"The second goal probably encapsulates everything that we work on and try to be. It's a beautiful goal from our point of view. I'm really pleased for the travelling supporters."
On Piroe specifically, Martin commented: "He's been amazing since he's been here. He's a great young man first and foremost.
"His willingness to learn is incredible and his understanding of what we're trying to do is amazing. He's been disappointed in spells this season with his own output in terms of goals but to find himself on that total now is brilliant for him."
Victory means Swansea have collected 10 of the last 12 points on offer while they have kept a clean sheet in three of their previous four games.
Goalkeeper Andy Fisher played a key role in Swansea's stunning second goal at Wigan while he produced a remarkable save to deny Thelo Aasgaard as the hosts probed late on. Martin revealed that captain Matt Grimes ran straight to Fisher - who applauded as the 778 Swansea supporters in attendance chanted his name early on in the second half - after the full-time whistle to congratulate the goalkeeper on his latest shutout.
"I'm really pleased for him, he's kept three clean sheets in four games, " said Martin. "He's came through a tough period personally, as the team did as well and he's come through it so well.
"The fact he plays a part again in one of our goals today shows how difficult it is to play in goal for us. He had a lot of family and friends here today. I'm made up for him and I think the players are as well.
"I think that's why Grimesy went straight to him at the end of the game and celebrated with him first because I think he appreciates how difficult it's been and the courage he's shown to come through that."
