Last updated : 20 October 2009 By Paul Edwards

Alan Pardew said: "It was so pleasing for Connolly because if ever a player deserved a goal it's him.

"The work he's put in to rebuild his professional career is great.

"He took the booking for his celebration but it was something we could forgive him for."
