France wins first game against Romania 2-1 | UEFA Euro 2016

Has Dimitri Payet spared France’s blushes and nabbed the goal of the tournament already?

Antoine Griezmann and Paul Pogba had been tipped as the most likely talismen for France this summer, but they were royally overshadowed here by Dimitri Payet.

The West Ham playmaker ran the show for France, wondering on off the left to spray passes around before reemerging on the flank to cross. He set up fine chances for Giroud, Griezmann and Bacary Sagna before finally getting the reward for his creativity when Giroud nodded his cross past Ciprian Tatarusanu for the opening goal.

He then slammed home a gorgeous winner to rescue the night. The pre-tournament dilemma between him and Anthony Martial is no longer up for debate.
