Edinson Cavani and Pablo Sarabia scored twice while Adil Aouchiche and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting each added another as Paris Saint-Germain beat ESA Linas-Montlhery 6-0 in a Coupe de France match on Sunday.

The win over the sixth-tier side sees the 12-time champions of the tournament  into the round of 32, and another step toward avenging their loss in the final last year to Rennes.

Facing a side composed of amateurs, PSG coach Thomas Tuchel rested star players like Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.

Cavani has been subject to much transfer speculation, with the Uruguayan striker tied to a deal with Spanish side Atletico Madrid. Cavani's contract at PSG, where he has played since 2013, expires this season.
