Swansea boss Rodgers sees Newcastle finishing in top four

Swansea City boss Brendan Rodgers feels Newcastle United can finish in the top four.

Papiss Cisse scored both goals in their 2-0 win on Friday.

When asked if Cisse could secure Newcastle a top-four finish, Rodgers said: "There is no question, having seen him live.

"You can see why they spent their money on him. His movement was outstanding.

"Ashley Williams and Steven Caulker were outstanding in defence for us but his movement to clear space and his double runs to get on the ball were brilliant.

"He is a real player, he has great movement, mobility and size and his second finish was incredible, the way he was able to dig that out.

"They were two terrific passes for him by (Yohan) Cabaye, and the finishes were outstanding."
