Yartey Fires Servette To Fifth Place In Switzerland

Ghanaian winger Ishmael Yartey made another huge statement for a Black Stars place when he scored deep into stoppage to hand Servette a 2-1 victory over Young Boys in the Swiss top-flight on Saturday. Yartey, who is in great form, scored to move his club up to fifth in the table. Before Saturday�s game Servette were facing dwindling form but the victory has sparked their chances of qualifying for Europe next season. The victory was Servette�s first in six matches which saves the job of coach Joao Alves. It was his seventh goal of the season which makes him the league�s highest scoring midfielder. Yartey is Servette�s second highest scorer as his presence despite being a midfielder provides a scoring option for the club. He is among the prolific Ghanaian performers in Europe this season which has led to calls for him to be handed a Black Stars place. With Andre Ayew injured for the key 2014 World Cup qualifiers in June, Yartey could provide a good option on the left side of midfield with the in-form Sulley Muntari playing just behind the strikers.
