Cisse fires Newcastle fifth with double

Newcastle move up to fifth place in the standings. They are three points clear of sixth-placed Chelsea with third-placed Arsenal and Tottenham in fourth - their other leading rivals for Champions League qualification - only two points ahead of them.Alan Pardew's side scored with their only meaningful attack of the first period on five minutes. Cisse darted onto a delightful pass from Yohan Cabaye to slide the ball beyond home goalkeeper Michel Vorm, who could only get a hand on the shot without diverting the ball wide as it nestled in the net.His second goal of the day was simply breathtaking as he somehow managed to hoist the ball over Vorm from another Cabaye pass from inside the home area on 69 minutes to ensure the three points docked with his side.It is the first time since 2006 that Newcastle have managed to win four straight matches in the Premier League.Swansea dined out on an incredible 80 per cent of possession in the first period without ever looking likely to penetrate the visiting side.Their best couple of moments in the first period saw Gylfi Sigurdsson drag an effort wide of goal on three minutes with Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul forced to swat a Sigurdsson shot over his bar on 27 minutes.They huffed and puffed in the second half and continued to look pretty without ever looking likely to floor a visiting side who were visibly lifted by Cisse's finishing.It is the third straight game in which he has come up with a double for Newcastle, who ended the game with their travelling fans chanting the voice of the delighted Pardew.
