Dimitri Payet’s stunning last-minute free-kick clinched France a 3-2 win in an entertaining friendly against Cameroon in Nantes.
West Ham midfielder Payet picked up where he had left off in the Barclays Premier League this season to steal the plaudits after Maxim Choupo-Moting’s late equaliser looked to have sealed Cameroon a draw at Stade de la Beaujoire.

Blaise Matuidi’s first-half opener had been cancelled out by Cameroon striker Vincent Aboubakar before Olivier Giroud gave Les Bleus an interval lead.
Cameroon drew level a minute later with a superb move involving Eyong Enoh, whose throughball found Allan Nyom and the over-lapping full-back’s excellent low cross to the far post was swept home first time by Aboubakar.
The game had reignited in the closing stages and Cameroon appeared to have secured a creditable draw in the 88th minute when a defensive mix up left substitute Choupo-Moting in the clear and he despatched the ball into the bottom corner.
But in the 90th minute France were awarded a free-kick when Franck Kom fouled Kante 25 yards out and Payet curled his superb free-kick into the top corner to win it for Les Bleus.
