Papiss Cisse has been talking about THAT goal against Chelsea.
On 2 May 2012, the Newcastle United striker scored a brilliant goal AND then an out of this world goal.
A 2-0 away win for United and arguably the greatest goal any player has ever scored for NUFC.
It capped an incredible start to his Newcastle United career.
Signed in January 2012, Papiss Cisse made his debut on 5 February 2012 against Aston Villa, coming off the bench he scored a spectacular winner and then couldn’t stop scoring them.
In his first 12 Newcastle United appearances Papiss Cisse scored 13 goals!
Papiss Cisse has now been looking back at that second goal he scored against Chelsea back on 2 May 2012, telling Every Given Sunday: “I have a lot of friends…Chelsea fans. They are so angry at me. When I arrived home I watched it, I say ‘What?!!’. That’s my lucky day. This day, if I play Euromillions, I’m gonna win 100%. That goal is my passport. Everywhere I go, the first thing come to me, ‘My God, your goal against Chelsea!’. Every striker in the world wants to score this kind of goal.”
