Christian Atsu scores for Newcastle United against Cardiff

Watch the video of the goal scored by Ghana winger Christian Atsu in Newcastle United's 2-1 win over Cardiff City in the English Championship on Saturday.

The Chelsea loanee raced the Magpies into a 3rd minute lead at the St James' Park with a staggering finish from around the area.

Aleksandar Mitrovic unselfishly rolled the ball to the AFCON 2015 Most Valuable Player and he picked his spot with a delirious finish.

Atsu has now netted twice in 9 Championship games for the Rafael Benitez's men. His first goal of the season came in a 1-0 away win over Rotherham United.
