NEWCASTLE United's Papiss Cisse has gatecrashed the Premier League in spectacular style and his second strike in Wednesday's win at Chelsea could sneak in as a goal of the season contender, especially given its potential importance.
Emmanuel Adebayor's double helped Tottenham Hotspur win 4-1 at Bolton Wanderers while Newcastle humbled Chelsea 2-0 away as both sides moved a point behind third-placed Arsenal with two games left as the race for the Champions League heated up.
A stunning Luka Modric strike set Tottenham on its way to victory at Bolton where midfielder Fabrice Muamba, who watched the match from the stand, received a standing ovation from fans 46 days after making a remarkable recovery after suffering a cardiac arrest in an FA Cup match against Spurs.
Prolific Senegal striker Cisse just about bettered Modric with two wonderful goals at Stamford Bridge, his 12th and 13th in the league since joining in the January transfer window.
"I actually thought we were going to win 1-0 with our 15th clean sheet of the season, but the goal was special," Newcastle manager Alan Pardew said of Cisse's second. "It sums him up. He feels he is just going to score whenever he is near the goal."
Stoke City's Peter Crouch and Luis Suarez for Liverpool have both netted jaw-dropping Premier League goals this term but Cisse's strike sits with the best of them.
Fourth-placed Spurs are on 65 points, ahead of Newcastle on goal difference. Champions League finalist Chelsea, which faces Liverpool in the FA Cup final tomorrow, remains sixth on 61. Title rivals Manchester City and Manchester United will take the first two European spots.
