Ghana 5-1 Qatar: Partey and Ayew spur Black Stars to big friendly win

Two assists from new Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey inspired Ghana to a 5-1 triumph over Qatar in an international friendly fixture on Monday.

After Ali Almoez cancelled out Tariqe Fosu's opener for Ghana, the 27-year-old set up goals by Swansea City attacker Andre Ayew and Saudi Arabia-based winger Samuel Owusu as the Black Stars won at the Titanic Stadium in the Turkish city of Antalya. Substitute Caleb Ekuban was also on the score sheet for the four-time African champions.

It was a good response by Ghana who succumbed to a disappointing 3-0 loss to Mali on Friday.
