Papiss Demba Cisse reveals "dream debut"

Papiss Demba Cisse has described his first appearance in a Newcastle United shirt as a "dream".

The Senegal striker came off the bench to score the winning goal for the Magpies against Aston Villa yesterday afternoon.

"I wanted to do well, that's for sure, but I knew yesterday I was going to be on the bench, so I had time to prepare. There was not so much pressure, I was just itching to start," Cisse told reporters.

"It was a dream debut, thank God, and I am really happy to be at Newcastle."

Newcastle paid Freiburg a reported £9m to sign the 26-year-old.
