Jordan Ayew�s Brace Helps Marseille Edge Sheriff In Europa League

Ghana striker Jordan Ayew scored all two goals as Marseille beat Moldovan side FC Sheriff 2-1 in their Europa League play-off first leg tie on Thursday. The 21-year-old put Marseille ahead on 18 minutes after slamming an unstoppable shot past the hosts� goalkeeper but Tomislav Pajovic levelled for the nine minutes later. Jordan restored the lead for Elia Baup�s side eight minutes after the break. Pierre-Andrea Gignac picked out Jordan early in the second half and the forward calmly finished off the attack. His superb display comes in the wake of reports linking him to a move to English side Reading but the Premier League club have denied the move. Jordan�s elder brother Andre Ayew missed the tie due to injury.
