Dimitri Payet's brilliant free kick in second-half stoppage time gave France a 3-2 friendly win over Cameroon.

A stunning injury-time free kick from Dimitri Payet gave France a 3-2 friendly victory over Cameroon in Nantes on Monday.

The West Ham midfielder curled a shot beyond the reach of goalkeeper Fabrice Ondoa just two minutes after the visitors had leveled the match at 2-2.

Blaise Matuidi's volley following a fine run from Kingsley Coman had put the hosts in front before Vincent Aboubakar leveled just two minutes later for a Cameroon side which posed a consistent threat on the break.
