Man Utd boss Ferguson full of praise for Newcastle striker Cisse

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson rated the first goal of Newcastle United striker Papiss Cisse as better than his amazing second at Chelsea.

Ever the perfectionist, Ferguson actually preferred the first goal because of Cisse's technique.

"Incredible," said the United manager. "He had to get a touch on it and, from the angle he was, to put it into the top corner was fantastic.

"The second was an incredible hit but it could have gone anywhere."
