SWANSEA 2 NEWCASTLE 2: Papiss Cisse's Brace Secures Point For Unsettled Alan Pardew

Two goals from Papiss Cisse gave Newcastle United a valuable point at Swansea City and relieved some of the pressure on beleaguered manager Alan Pardew. The Senegal striker was recalled to the Newcastle starting XI in place of Emmanuel Riviere and delivered once again with a fine double.

Cisse had come off the bench and netted twice to salvage a 2-2 draw with Hull City a fortnight ago, and replicated the feat with two clever finishes at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday. Wilfried Bony who came in to Swansea's team at the expense of Bafetimbi Gomis - opened the scoring in the 17th minute for the hosts.
