Spain based Ghanaian attacker Christian Atsu played a crucial role for his club side Malaga as they snatched a late point at the Riazor on Saturday night.
The on loan Chelsea winger urged his name into the heart of the Rosaleda outfit fans in the six goal thriller with commanding performance for Javi Gracia’s men.
The 24 year old much travelled Ghanaian failed to add to his debut strike for Malaga but proved pivotal across in the 90 minutes at the Riazor against the rejuvenated Deportivo La Coruna.
The former FC Porto wing wizard introduced himself to Spanish football fans with impressive performances that could entice their head coach to make his loan spell permanent at the end of the season.
Atsu came within inches of pocketing his second strike for Malaga but was denied on two occasions, first from the goal line clearance and a wicked goal keeping from German Lux in post for Deportivo La Coruna.
Goals from Celca Borges, Fede and Lucas look to have won the three points for Depor but Malaga snatched a last minute point thanks to an own goal from Alejandro Aribas, and further strikes from Ignacio Camacho and the prolific Charles.
Atsu joined Malaga from Chelsea in the winter transfer window and has since managed one goal in his opening three matches for the La Rosaleda outfit in Spanish top flight football.
