PSG fight back to beat Auxerre in season finale

20

Paris St-Germain came from behind to end their title-winning campaign in Ligue 1 with victory against Auxerre.

They wrapped up a fourth successive Ligue 1 title with six games to spare after beating Angers on 5 April.

Lassine Sinayoko scored for the third time in six games, taking his season tally to five, to give Auxerre a shock lead at half-time.

But PSG scored twice in the space of eight second-half minutes to record their 26th league victory of the season.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia levelled before Marquinhos headed the hosts in front.

Goncalo Ramos spurned the opportunity to extend PSG’s lead from the penalty spot but January signing Kvaratskhelia struck in the 88th minute to wrap up the 3-1 win.

Luis Enrique’s side will attempt to add further silverware to their trophy cabinet when they feature in two finals over the next 14 days.

PSG face Reims in the Coupe de France final on 24 May and take on Inter Milan in the Champions League final on 31 May.

Having already beaten Monaco in the French Supercup in January, they could end the season with four trophies.

They are also set to feature in the revamped Fifa Club World Cup in June.
