Former Newcastle striker Papiss Cisse has dedicated a goal for Shandong Lueng in China to his late club team-mate Cheick Tiote.

The 32-year-old scored the opening goal in a 2-2 draw against Guizhou Zhicheng on Saturday, rifling the ball into the far top corner in the 31st minute.

As the Senegalese raced away to celebrate his strike he displayed a message on a T-shirt underneath his club jersey.

It read: 'Love you my brother. Tiote forever', in tribute to the former Ivory Coast international who passed away earlier this month.

Tiote died on June 5 after suffering a heart attack while training with his Chinese club Beijing Enterprises.

A memorial service was held in Beijing, as well as a funeral back in his home country.

Senegalese international Cisse attended the service in China, and said at the memorial: 'I lived some extraordinary moments with this man and today he's gone.'

Former international team-mates then attended his funeral service in the country's capital of Abidjan including Kolo Toure, Wilfried Bony and Salomon Kalou.

Tiote left Newcastle in February after nearly seven years at St James' Park, during which time he made 156 appearances and scored one goal.
