Dimitri Payet lifts mind-boggling free kick over 7-man wall

Slaven Bilic calls him 'Superman' for a reason.

Dimitri Payet is simply on another planet, and fresh off celebrating his 29th birthday with a stellar display for France during the international break, West Ham's ace is at it again.

Payet has made a living from dead-ball scenarios this season, and has made his mark as one of the world's best in that regard. He stunned us all against Bournemouth early in the new year, and most notably netted in back-to-back FA Cup matches against Blackburn and Manchester United. Then again for Les Blues against Russia midweek.

Bottom line: It's getting a little out of hand (in a good way.)

Against Crystal Palace on Saturday, he curled home another beauty into the top corner and left Wayne Hennessey rooted to his spot, giving the Hammers a 2-1 lead heading into the break. Watch (and marvel):

A seven-man wall, you say? No problem!

Keep smashing 'em in, Dimitri. We're not complaining.
