Dimitri Payet hero as France celebrates Euro 2016 opener

The players celebrating in front of fans

France earned three points from the opening game of Euro 2016, beating Romania 2-1 on a wonderful late goal from Dimitri Payet. Didier Deschamps' decision to pick Payet ahead of Antony Martial was vindicated well before the West Ham star smashed a thunderbolt past Ciprian Tatarusanu for the winner in the 89th minute. If the original thinking was that Payet might help unlock a packed, park-the-bus style of Romanian defence, he quickly adjusted when it became clear that Anghel Iordanescu's men weren't going to play that way. Dimitri Payet is pictured celebrating with his sons after his stunning match-winning heroics.
