The Magpies were on course for a draw that would have left them only two points and two places clear of the bottom three.I inherited that West Ham team in the Championship [in 2003] that had gone down on 42 points," said Pardew. Cisse volleyed in at the death to give the Magpies a 1-0 victory that lifts them five points above the drop zone.Despite hitting the bar once and the post twice, they could not find a breakthrough as mid-table Fulham looked set to secure a draw.You can't underestimate this year that it might be a points total like that you need, so we're far from safe yet.However, Cisse would have one last chance and he controlled Yohan Cabaye's shot before volleying past Mark Schwarzer.The whole bottom half is looking over their shoulder, so we've still got work to do.It moves Newcastle to 13th place on 36 points before the Tyne-Wear derby against fellow strugglers Sunderland next Sunday.
