Newcastle United manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 on Wednesday, in which he scored two goals for the Magpies, to help them record their first win at Stamford Bridge since 1986.
The Senegalese footballer scored a wonderful first goal from a volley and fired a stoppage time screamer to guide his side to a resounding 2-0 win against the Blues. His second goal on the night has already been termed by many as the strike of the season.
He has now scored 13 goals for the Toon in 12 appearances, since joining the club in January.
However, Pardew lauded the skill of the maverick striker and revealed that his second goal had taken everybody by surprise.
The 50-year old told the reporters, “It was an astonishing goal. Cisse took a chance and you can see he meant it. He's hit it true.”
The defeat dented the Blues hopes of finishing the table in the top four, and bolstered the Magpies chances of qualifying for the Champions League next season. They are currently level on points with fourth placed Tottenham Hotspur and just a point behind

The win was also the Magpies seventh in their last eight league games and came after their 4-0 drubbing by Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium on Saturday. However, the Englishman raved about the character that his side had shown on Wednesday, to bounce back
after suffering a heavy defeat.
He remarked, “We looked more solid and we still looked a massive threat. The reaction we got out there typifies the team. Every time you have a set-back, you have to bounce back.”
Newcastle will play their next game against the league leaders, Manchester City on the 6th of May, and Pardew pressed upon the importance of the fixture on his players, keeping in view everything that will be at stake.
“We're looking forward to the Sports Direct Arena on Sunday. It's going to be a special day, a team challenging for title and team challenging for [the Champions League]. If you would have told me that at the start of the season I wouldn’t have believed
it.” He added.
