Newcastle United winger Christian Atsu played the entire duration as his side lost 2-1 to his former club Chelsea. 

Atsu on few occasions caused havoc at Stamford Bridge with his speed and dribbles.

Atsu joined the Blues on a free transfer after leaving FC Porto in 2013.

The Ghana international was signed by Chelsea in 2013 but never got the opportunity to strut his stuff.

He was loaned out to clubs including Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem, Everton Bournemouth, Spanish club Malaga and Newcastle.

Pedro Rodriguez opened the scoring for Chelsea in the ninth minute before Ciaran Clark equalised through Matt Ritchie before half time.

Willian snatched the winner for the Blues in the second half
