Alan Pardew: "We all worry and especially the media worry more about his confidence than he does. It's pretty sound, his confidence.
"It was a fantastic goal, by the way. The technique to swivel and score like that was of the top level.
"But Papiss was part of a great team performance, you have to say that.
"I think people's expectations of him are too high because they want to see him race past the full-back every time, and it's impossible.
"If he did, the full-back would know what he was going to do, so he has to mix his game up.
"He has to get the balance right - I thought he did tonight. he was excellent."
