Euro 2016 French police fire tear gas at English football fans

Police oversee city of Lille to prevent futher skirmishes.

Trouble carried on in Lille this afternoon just a few days after the violent clashes in Marseille involving English and Russian hooligans.

Over a hundred Russian ultras wearing hoodies, masks and black tee shirts attacked English fans in the South of France.

Both set of fans met again this afternoon, this time in the north of the country, following Russia's game against Slovakia as England fans were gathering for their game tomorrow against Wales in nearby city Lens.

Today, England fans appeared to be looking for Russian fans to mock them following their defeat (2-1) and French police had to intervene near the main train station as tear gas was used to break up the crowd.

Forces are out in numbers in Lille and Lens to help manage the situation following the events in Marseille as the French security was criticised by many for their failure to control fans.

The sequence can be seen on social media after former Liverpool player Stan Collymore filmed the scene.
