Marseille descended into violent chaos once again as England fans were involved in a third day of fighting.
Fist fights and bottle throwing broke out between the supporters and their Russian and French counterparts in Marseille’s Old Port.
Broken glass lay strewn across the square as the police fired tear gas into the crowds causing them to run.
Fans were seen being beaten to the floor and repeatedly kicked in the head.
