    ON THIS DAY 2013:

    Papiss Cisse scored in the last second of the tie to send Newcastle into the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

    The Senegal striker headed in Sylvain Marveaux’s cross three minutes into injury time to break the stalemate.

    Anzhi Makhachkala were reduced to 10 men when Mehdi Carcela-Gonzalez picked up two yellow cards in seven minutes at the start of the second half.

    They almost won it when Mbark Boussoufa’s free-kick hit the crossbar, six minutes before Cisse’s winner.

    It was a dramatic finale to a gripping second leg at St James’ Park that was finely poised after Newcastle ground out a goalless draw in Moscow. (BBC)
