Barcelona Star Sends Praise To Cisse!

He even won the Barcelona seal of approval ... with Cesc Fabregas tweeting his admiration for the Senegalese striker’s second goal at Swansea.

The Toon No 9 seemed to be falling back, but he produced the perfect touch to lift the ball across goal into the top corner of the net.

Tim Krul says that superb form is no surprise to Newcastle players who have seen the forward turn on the style in training too.

Tim Krul: “He is scoring everything at the moment.

“In training on Thursday he chipped Rob Elliot from 40 metres.

"He’s on fire and what a player to have bought.”
