PARIS (AP) — Wissam Ben Yedder scored twice to approach 100 league goals for Monaco as the Principality side beat rock-bottom Clermont 4-1 and moved closer to securing Champions League qualification on Saturday.

Ben Yedder’s second-half brace took him onto 15 league goals this season and made it seven in five career games against Clermont.

It followed his two goals last weekend against Lyon, and took the 33-year-old sharpshooter onto 97 league goals since joining five years ago. He also had a superb 30-meter lob against Clermont ruled out for a narrow offside following a video review, having had a hat-trick goal ruled out by VAR against Lyon.

Ben Yedder is looking back to his best and could be in contention for a place in France’s squad for the June 14-July 14 European Championship. Coach Didier Deschamps names his squad on May 16.
