Newcastle striker Cisse on late winners: I play to final whistle

Newcastle United striker Papiss Cisse says he'll continue to play to the final whistle.

Newcastle have made something of a habit in recent weeks of winning games at the death with Cisse contributing late decisive strikes against Stoke, Anzhi and at the weekend, Fulham.

Cisse said: "I tell myself as long as the referee hasn't blown his whistle, the game isn't over.

"I'm an attacker, that's my job - that's what I always tell myself. I have to be ready to score at any moment, so there's always a chance until the whistle goes that I can score."
