Payet: I'm expected to score every free kick now

The West Ham star settled the game in the hosts' favour with a brilliant injury-time winner, as the Stade de la Beaujoire was witness to an enthralling friendly on Monday

Dimitri Payet admits that he is now expected to score from every free-kick after another sublime effort gave France a 3-2 win over Cameroon.

The West Ham star curled a stunning strike beyond Fabrice Ondoa in second-half injury time, after Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting had snatched an equaliser in the 88th minute in Nantes.

Payet's reputation from set-pieces has grown this season as a result of some fine goals for West Ham, in particular two memorable strikes against Manchester United and Crystal Palace.
