Former SC Freiburg striker Papiss Demba Cissé earned praise from new boss Alan Pardew after scoring on his debut for the Magpies.

Newcastle United signed the Senegal international for £9 million, which is £9 million more than they paid for fellow Senegalese striker Demba Ba.

Nonetheless, both look tremendous signings for the Toon.

Cissé came off the bench against Aston Villa, replacing an injured Leon Best, to fire the winning goal into the back of the net following a cross by Argentine Jonás Gutiérrez.

Mancini s men had won their previous 11 consecutive games – an Azzurri record – but fell behind at Stadio Artemio Franchi when Roma striker Edin Dzeko gave the visitors a second-half lead.

Torino s Andrea Belotti started in attack ahead of Lazio s talismanic forward Ciro Immobile and Mancini may consider that position for one of his planned changes.

The draw doesn t change our plans, Mancini tol…
