What a way to kick off Euro 2016 as France beat Romania 2-1 after Dimitri Payet scored the match-winner in the 88th minute with a sensational left-footed strike from just outside the penalty box.

Payet, who assisted the first France Goal and created eight scoring chances, was named Man of the Match. Shortly after scoring, he was subbed off to a huge reception and could not contain his emotions.

It had been 369 days since the 29-year-old Payet scored his first goal for France. This goal, however, will probably be more memorable than the first.
