Dimitri Payet has seemingly put his time at West Ham firmly behind him after the winger got back to scoring ways by netting his first goal for Marseille since making the move to France.

The 29-year-old completed a £25million transfer from the Hammers to Ligue 1 giants Marseille last month, and was handed his first appearance for the French giants in the 1-0 win over Metz last week.

After then being handed his first Ligue 1 start against Guingamp on Wednesday, the France international made it a game to remember as he scored his first goal since forcing a move away from West Ham.

Bafetimbi Gomis, on loan from Swansea for the season, had opened the scoring with his headed goal in the 26th minute before Payet struck in the second half with his free kick.

The winger delivered a free kick in the 76th minute at the Stade Velodrome that took a deflection off the Guingamp wall and hurtled over the goalkeeper and into the back of the net.

Payet celebrated wildly, with his goal sealing a 2-0 victory for Marseille which takes the club into sixth place in the French top-flight standings.
