Christian Atsu charges Newcastle United to start winning matches

Newcastle United winger Christian Atsu has urged his teammates to start winning matches or risk demotion from the English Premier League.

The Ghana star was part of the Magpies who blew a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Bournemouth two weeks ago.

It was their eighth draw of the season.

"It's true, we aren't losing a lot of games but we also need to starting taking three points,'' he said.

"Against Bournemouth we deserved the three points but couldn't take them. So we need to now focus on getting three points and not sharing with other teams."
