UPDATED: 16:49 EST, 7 April 2013 When the winning goal was won in the 3rd second of added time, he grabbed the nearest fan he could find and leapt on the hoardings, into the group. And that has been the manager! Alan Pardew was oblivious to where goalscorer Papiss Cisse was at that point (he was deliriously sprinting towards the corner hole with every team-mate in pursuit) and he says he didnat also hear the noise from near 50,000 demented Geordies. aSomeoneas supply was battering my ears,a Pardew said. aI didnat hear something. It wasn't intentional to jump into the group, it just came into my head at the time.a Taking the moment: Cisse remembers his last second success before the happy Newcastle fans Last gasp: Papiss Cisse scores the sole target of the game deep into harm time at St James' Park Saviour: Papiss (right) looks to the heavens after his goal gave a massive win to Newcastle inside their relegation struggle Newcastle: Krul, Simpson (Campbell 81), S.Taylor, Yanga-Mbiwa, Santon (Anita 17), Marveaux, Sissoko, Cabaye, Gutierrez, Gouffran (Sh Ameobi 69), Cisse Subs perhaps not used: Elliot, Williamson, Bigirimana, Obertan Booked: Sissoko, Cisse Goals: Cisse 90+3 Fulham: Schwarzer; Riether, Senderos, Hangeland, Riise; Manolev (Rodallega 81), Enoh (Frimpong 50), Karagounis, Duff; Ruiz; Berbatov Subs not used: Etheridge, Richardson, Hughes, Frei, Emanuelson Booked: Senderos, Riise Referee: Kevin Friend Attendance: 51,847 The reaction from both sides was such as a last-ditch success in a cup final. But for Newcastle United, it could be more important than that. At the start of the week of Pardewas Newcastle leadership, Cisse won the multi-million pound target that has taken them to 36 items and must keep his group in the Barclays Premier League. aI donat think I could put into words the importance of the goal,a Pardew said. aTo somebody like me whoas experienced the overall game and knows the financial implications and the implications for soul, the impression of the fans and of everything involved, it's a precious goal. You couldnat put a price about it. aI knew simply how much it meant since our fans are clever. They know how important that was, how important for this week facing us now.a Cisseas shot hit the rear of the web with 92 minutes and 37 seconds on the clock. It's the third time in three property games the Senegal striker has won following the 90th minute. Dishevelled: Newcastle director Alan Pardew lost his composure - and his clothing - celebrating the winner Last-minute: Cisse (right) celebrates with team-mate Moussa Sissoko after scoring the spectacular winner And his 12th goal of the summer season is probably the most valuable, though he will surpass that when he scores champions again against Benfica on Thursday and Sunderland on Sunday. It had been enough to prompt England bowler and Newcastle lover Graeme Swann to twitter aYYYEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!! Cisse, you're welcome to marry my sister #howaytheladsa. Pardew added: aAt half-time I showed him a cut of a big opportunity we'd, which I donat do often, when he needs to have passed for Sylvain Marveaux who was unmarked. He was very upset with himself. I did if the right thing had been done by me wonder. He then gets an opportunity like that. No other player could do this and change like he did to score.a Dangerman: Dimitar Berbatov came close to scoring with an early shot on the bar Uncomfortable exit: Davide Santon's season looks to be over after he was carried off with a hamstring injury How they stand: Premier League desk The Newcastle manager did well to select any highlights of the first half. Cisse and Moussa Sissoko both hit wildly off goal, but Fulham had four great chances. Mark Schwarzer, in the Fulham purpose, was crushed after when he was wrong-footed by a Vurnon Anita drive which deflected off Emmanuel Frimpongas leg and crashed from the crossbar the break. And it wasn't the sole time the Aussie stopper was rescued by the wood. A teasing Marveaux corner was headed by yoan Gouffran onto the post and the rebound was smashed by Cisse from the same vertical. Newcastle and their supporters were more concerned with the part Sascha Riether enjoyed in diverting Gouffranas header on to the post, claiming he used his arm. Umpire Kevin Friend said he didnat. To add to Newcastle supportersa panic, Fulhama s fast, smooth passing was a noticeable chance, specially when Dimitar Berbatov changed the gears from walking speed to canter. Heated: Papiss (heart) and Fulham defender Philippe Senderos (right) disagree Commitment: Jonas Gutierrez (right) reaches the ball ahead of Fulham's Stanislav Manolev Seems and learn, Alan! Fulham boss Martin Jol shows his abilities on the touchline facing Pardew The Fulham captain went close in the next moment, toe-poking a shot over and Tim Krul made save your self of the afternoon following the break to keep out his company header. Berbatovas properly heavy move into the box was played at the speed for reach partner Bryan Ruiz but he delayed his shot enough for Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa to make a well-timed intervention. For all his apparent indifference to all that goes on around him, Berbatov was mad when John Arne Riise didn't place him unmarked on a rare late venture in the 2nd half, and showed little patience for Hugo Rodallega when he slipped in the box and destroyed his skipperas pass. And Berbatov was the angriest player on the pitch when Cisseas success failed in. He was also the nearest Fulham player, having fallen deep in to his or her own penalty area in the dying minutes to defend a place. Berbatov had twice made critical headed clearances before Cabayeas opportunity shifted into Cisseas legs and the Newcastle striker turned Berbatov to report. Everything is aThey thrown by fulham boss Martin Jol said: forward so when you get a chance you have to punish them simply because they wish to score. That is challenging and when we had chances we couldnat do it. It's very disappointing.a NEWCASTLE Sunderland (h) - April 14West Brom (a - April 20Liverpool (h) - April 27West Ham (a - May 4QPR (a - May 12Arsenal (h) - May 19 FULHAM Aston Villa (a - SaturdayChelsea (h) - April 17Arsenal (h) - April 20Everton (a - April 27Reading (h) - May 4Liverpool (h) - May 12Swansea (a - May 19
