We have seen few fantastic goals already in the Premier League this season, but Dmitri Payet’s mesmerising goal against Middlesbrough has got to the best of the season. The Frenchman was, as always, the best player on the pitch for West Ham United.

While West Ham’s season has been off to a horrible start, the Hammers can bank on Payet’s brilliance to rescue them from their woeful position.

This has perhaps been the game that he has influenced the most so far, but glimpses of his brilliance were seen so far this season, especially when he made the rabonna cross for Michail Antonio’s goal earlier this season.
