Dimitri Payet's Stunning Goal Wins Euro 2016 Opener for France vs. Romania

Joe GallagherJun 10, 2016

It wasn't looking promising for France in their opening game of Euro 2016, but then up stepped Dimitri Payet.

Olivier Giroud's 57th-minute goal had been cancelled out by Romania's Bogdan Stancu, and it looked as though the tournament hosts' were heading for a 1-1 draw in Paris.

But the West Ham United star had other ideas, blasting an 89th-minute rocket into the top corner to steal the three points for Les Bleus at the Stade de France.
