Papiss Cisse prolongs Everton`s bleak mid-winter

Senegalese striker Papiss Cisse kept up his impressive 

 scoring record to inspire Newcastle United as they came from behind to beat Everton 3-2 in the Premier League on Sunday.

Cisse`s fifth goal in six games sparked the recovery after Arouna Kone had found the net on his full Premier League debut for Roberto Martinez`s Everton, an injury-ravaged 18 months after joining from Wigan Athletic.

Cisse levelled before the interval and second-half goals from Ayoze Perez and Jack Colback enabled Alan Pardew`s men to end a four-game losing streak.
