VIDEO: Newcastle flop Thauvin hits a screamer into the lower corner

The winger hammered home 30 yards to give his side an early lead in Friday's Ligue 1 clash with Angers

Florian Thauvin may have been a massive flop for Newcastle, but the 24-year-old is feeling right at home with Olympique Marseille in his native France.

With his side chasing a place in Europe next year, the winger netted a brilliant goal early on against Angers to OM out in front.

Former West Ham star Dimitri Payet was the setup man, taking a free kick quickly to set Thauvin up for a first-time hit 30-yards from goal, and he made no mistake, slamming home a screamer of a low hit.
