Euro 2016 wrap: Overnight Actions - France beats Albania, Switzerland draw Romania, Slovakia down Russia

LATE goals from Antoine Griezmann and Dimitri Payet booked hosts France’s place in the last 16 of Euro 2016 after overcoming stiff resistance from European Championship debutants Albania.

Atletico Madrid forward Griezmann came off the bench in Marseille to head the opener in the 90th minute before West Ham United’s Payet strengthened his reputation by smashing home a second deep into stoppage time.

“We needed a win to qualify, and it’s done,” Griezmann told French television. “The coach had told me that I would be a substitute. I knew it and I wanted to do what I had to do once I got on.” Payet also struck a late winner as France opened the tournament with a nervy 2-1 win over Romania
