WATCH: Arsenal striker Giroud, West Ham ace Payet fire France to victory over Cameroon

Premier League stars Olivier Giroud and Dimitri Payet helped France to a 3-2 win over Cameroon in a friendly in Nantes on Monday night.

Paris Saint-Germain's Blaise Matuidi had Didier Deschamps' Les Bleus ahead in the 20th minute with a lovely volley before Porto's Vincent Aboubakar replied for the Africans less than two minutes later.

Arsenal striker Giroud edged France in front just before half-time when finishing an absolutely beautiful cross from Juventus maestro Paul Pogba prior to an 88th-minute equaliser from Schalke forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.

But it was West Ham United hero Payet who stepped up for the Euro2016 hosts with a stunning whipped free-kick to win it in the 90th minute in what is now becoming customary fashion for the 29-year-old.

Check out the cracking goals from Giroud and Payet below:
