Yaya Toure helps Qingdao Huanghai secure Chinese Super League promotion

Yaya Toure has helped his Chinese League One club Qingdao Huanghai secure promotion to the Super League.

Juanma Lillo's men defeated Shanghai Shenxin 2-0 in Saturday's league fixture to confirm their place in the Chinese top-flight next season.

Toure was in action from start to finish for visitors at the Jinshan Soccer Stadium as they stretched their unbeaten run to seven games in the League One.

Since he moved to China in July, the former Barcelona and Manchester City midfielder has scored two goals in 13 outings in the second-tier league.
