Alan Pardew: "We have a guy in red-hot form in Cisse and that was the difference between the sides.
"We weren't brilliant, we were a bit flat, but he was electric.
"But his form doesn't surprise us, we see him in training every day.
"You need a bit of luck when you come into the Premier League, but he got a great first goal that has set him on the road in terms of confidence.
"He had a fantastic record in the Bundesliga with a club that were struggling, so he is no mystery; he is a player with pedigree."
