Cisse scores on QPR debut in Villa draw



Djibril Cisse marked his return to English football by scoring on his Queens Park Rangers debut in a 2-2 Premier League draw away to Aston Villa on Wednesday.
The 30-year-old French striker, thrust into the side a day after completing a transfer deadline day move from Italian side Lazio on Tuesday worth a reported four million euros, took just 12 minutes to justify QPR manager Mark Hughes's faith with a sensational strike.
Cisse, who had previous spells in England with Liverpool and Sunderland, latched onto a loose ball and struck a fierce shot past Shay Given before celebrating with a somersault.
Rangers went 2-0 up when Villa defender Stephen Warnock headed a cross from Taye Taiwo into his own net in the 29th minute when under no pressure at all.
