VIDEO: Watch Atsu lose 4-1 to Trent Alexander Arnold in the Sky Sports ePL
Newcastle winger Christian Atsu has been dumped-out of the Sky Sports ePL Invitational at the quarter-final stage after losing 4-1 to Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Interestingly, Atsu opened the scoring in the fourth minute through Allan Saint-Maximin on a counter-attack but Alexander-Arnold roared back immediately to equalise and eventually claim victory in the EA Sports FIFA 20 game competition.

Atsu had earlier defeated Tottenham's Moussa Sissoko 2-1 to qualify for the quarter-finals while Trent Alexander-Arnold showcased his FIFA20 talents in the ePL Invitational by beating Manchester United 5-1.
The tournament provides the unique opportunity to see Premier League players put their FIFA 20 skills to the test against one another on the big stage.
The tournament culminates with televised finals day on Saturday from 3 pm.
The prize fund is being donated to the #PlayersTogether initiative, which was created by Premier League players as a collective way of generating funds for the NHS and distributing them where they are needed most.
The tournament also urges everyone to follow official advice by staying home and saving lives.
