Papiss Cisse scored twice Wednesday to lead Newcastle to a 2-0 Premier League win at Chelsea that keeps alive the Magpies' hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.

Cisse put Newcastle ahead in the 19th and made the result safe in the 90th.

It was Newcastle's first league win at Stamford Bridge since 1986 and moved the Magpies four points clear of the Blues, who now look likely to need victory in next month's Champions League final to secure a place in next season's competition.
