Alan Pardew hails Demba Ba, Papiss Cisse

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew describes his strike partnership of Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse as "a dangerous pair" after their goals earn a 2-1 win over Aston Villa.

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has described his strike partnership of Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse as "a dangerous pair" after their goals earned a 2-1 win over Aston Villa.

Ba fired Newcastle into a 30th minute lead at the Sports Direct Arena before Cisse's debut strike 20 minutes from time gave the Magpies the win.

"Papiss has got that ability to turn with his first touch, and Demba's got that too," Pardew told Sky Sports News. "They can get at back fours as soon as the ball is played into them.

"They are a dangerous pair."

Newcastle have moved up to fifth in the table with the win.
