Newcastle were 1-0 up at Stamford Bridge on 2 May 2012 when Cissé, out near the left touchline, hit a shot that swerved and dropped over Petr Čech into the far corner; it won the BBC goal of the season. Thirteen goals in his first 14 Premier League appearances after arriving that January followed a Bundesliga season at Freiburg in which his 22 goals beat Tony Yeboah's African record, and he scored 17 in 36 caps for Senegal. Career record: club career at AS Douanes, AS Cherbourg Football, SC Freiburg.
