Violence in Marseille overshadows early play in Euro 2016

Fighting fans, tear gas and riot police returned to the streets of Marseille on Saturday, before and after England's 1-1 draw with Russia at the European Championship.

Clashes between England and Russia supporters even broke out inside the stadium at the final whistle, after Vasily Berezutsky headed the equalizer in stoppage time. England had taken a 73rd minute lead through a superb free kick by Eric Dier.

The fighting at Stade Velodrome came on a third straight day of hooliganism in the Mediterranean port city. The latest incidents prompted police to use water cannons on the troublemakers.
