VIDEO: Cisse v Shearer! Papiss' latest rocket was rather familiar... so how do all their top five goals for Newcastle compare?



Papiss Cisse's 35-yard dipping rocket of a volley would have left any other set of supporters in the country open-mouthed with disbelief, but up in Newcastle they're rather used to that sort of thing.

Papiss has done this a few times before, you see. Remember that outrageous, swerving half-volley from near the sideline at Stamford Bridge last season? How could you ever forget, more like. And then there was that exquisite, curling lob against Swansea. That seemed almost impossible when the ball was stuck under his feet just moments before.

But the Senegalese is simply following in the footsteps of another striker who took the breath away at St James' Park just a few years earlier. You might have heard of Alan Shearer - he's the Premier League's record goalscorer. And a good proportion of his 260 top-flight strikes were nothing short of spectacular.

But, in the grandest tradition of Harry Hill, if you want to know which one is better, there's only one way to find out... (you know the rest). Or, alternatively, just watch these videos of the strikers' greatest Newcastle goals and judge for yourself...
