When the yoke is moved to roll the a/c, the downward moving aileron generates more lift, and consequentlhy more drag. The upward moveing aileron generates less drag, because producing lift produces drag, and vice-versa. Thus as the a/c rolls, the ascending wing lags behind the axis and yaws the aircraft. Very Simple.
