PSG beats Boulogne 5-2 in French league

Mevlut Erding scored twice Wednesday to help Paris Saint-Germain beat Boulogne 5-2 and rise to seventh place in the French league.

PSG moved to 22 points in its bid for a European spot, while Boulogne stretched its losing streak to five games and remained stuck in 19th place with nine points.

"We scored goals even though we didn't play very well," Erding told RMC radio. "At halftime, we told ourselves that we needed to run more. Now we will go to Bordeaux with more serenity."

Defending champion Bordeaux will host PSG on Saturday.

Bordeaux tops the standings with 28 points, two clear of Lyon and Auxerre.
