France 2 - 1 Roumania : UEFA Euro 2016 RESULT:Olivier Giroud and Dimitri Payet on target for Didier Deschamps' side

The West Ham wizard smashed home on his left foot from outside the box to give Didier Deschamps’ men a huge lift in a game they looked destined to draw.

Olivier Giroud had given the hosts the lead with a header just before the hour mark, but Patrice Evra’s mindless challenge gave the visitors the chance to level.

It looked like their solid defensive display was about to bare fruit before Payet stepped up and rifled home in the 89th minute to get his country dreaming of Euro glory.

Bogdan Stancu sent Hugo Lloris the wrong way and the Romanians dug in looking to defend the 1-1 draw.

France now tops Group A with 3 Points.
