With 10 goals in his first 11 games since a £10m move from Freiburg, Cissé has been crucial to Newcastle’s late charge up the table.
Pardew insisted his prolific form had not come as a surprise to him ... and the Toon players should have checked the striker's CV.
Alan Pardew: “I’m still a little mystified people underestimated him.
“He had a great CV when he joined, he’d scored a lot of goals in the Bundesliga.
“What he is getting with us is a lot of chances, more than he did at his former club.
"He’s a goalscorer and if you give him chances he will score goals.”
