French riot police have charged with batons and fired teargas on England fans in the old port of Marseille, in the third day of violence ahead of Saturday evening’s tie with Russia.

After a relatively peaceful morning, violence erupted around 3pm. Around 60 riot police marched on fans as they congregated outside bars and hotels on the harbour.

It was unclear what sparked the tactic, but some fans responded by hurling bottles at the advancing police.

One man, believed to be English, appeared to have been knocked unconscious. A witness said that the victim had been kicked repeatedly in the head. The identity, or nationality, of the assailants is not known.

GOAL! Wales 1-1 Slovakia (Duda 61)

What an impact from the substitute! Mak made an excellent run into the box, shrugging off Ramsey and laying the ball in to Duda, who decks Ashley Williams with a little feint and then fires low into the net! That’s a hell of a first touch!
