Christian Atsu displayed a wonderful performance for Newcastle United despite losing 3-1 to Liverpool at Anfield.

Steve Bruce had enough confidence in the Ghanaian by handing him a start against the Premier League leaders.

Atsu grabbed the chance as he provided an assist for Jetro Williems to put Newcastle in front after just 7minutes.

Sadio Mane would equalize and add another at half time before Mohamed Salah scored the third to keep the Reds incredible home record with 14 straight home wins in the English Premier League.

The Black Stars winger was one of the outstanding performers for Newcastle enjoying the entire minutes of the game.
