Premier League: Newcastle claim 2-1 win over Stoke at St James' Park

Papiss Cisse fired home an injury-time winner as Newcastle came from behind to beat Stoke City 2-1 at St James' Park.

The Magpies boss was delighted to claim the points and is now eyeing a top-half finish. "It was a very important win for us, because it jumps us right up the Premier League and gives us a chance to attack the top ten," he told Sky Sports. As for Potters manager Tony Pulis, he was left bemoaning the presence of Cisse on the field to fire in the winner. "I know he scores but he raised his hands and caught Marc Wilson and Ryan Shawcross," said the Welshman. "But that is the way it is going for us."
