Mohamed Yattara strikes twice for ambitious Auxerre

Mohamed Yattara scored twice as Auxerre defeated Le Havre 2-0 to end a two-game winless run and keep alive their hopes of securing Ligue 1 promotion.

The 26-year-old’s first-half double powered Jean-Marc Furlan’s side to their fourth victory this term at Stade de l'Abbe-Deschamps.

Yattara gave Auxerre a 14th-minute lead after profiting from Mickael Barreto’s assist, before making it two goals - four minutes later.
