The hosts continued to push for the winner, though it was Strasbourg who came closest to snatching all three points as goalscorer Emegha hit the woodwork late on.  Data Debrief: Wasteful Marseille pay the price Marseille will feel this is an opportunity missed to keep within touching distance of leaders PSG, and they will be left to rue several missed chances on Sunday.  De Zerbi's side ended the contest with an expected goals (xG) total of 2.91 from their 18 attempts, though only three of those were on target against Strasbourg.  They also squandered five big chances at the Stade Velodrome, their highest tally in a Ligue 1 game since 17 September 2020 against St Etienne (six). But their equaliser came through Greenwood, who has now been involved in 15 goals in the top-flight this season with Marseille (12 goals, three assists), his highest tally in a league campaign. He also had 12 touches in the opponent's box tonight, as many as the entire Strasbourg team.

truncheons for violence in Marseille England fans embroiled in violence in Marseille on Saturday night have said groups of Russian hooligans launched “savage coordinated attacks” around the city disguised in English club shirts and equipped with gumshields and telescopic truncheons Roaming Russian fans approached the violence, which occurred before and after England’s opening Euro 2016 game in Marseille, with “military organisation”, fans said, as Uefa opened disciplinary proceedings against Russia’s football union Calling cards were posted on lampposts around the Old Port area of town seemingly to guide the hooligans as to where to congregate before acts of violence that even seasoned travellers with England said were the worst they had experienced had to be escorted from a brasserie near the stadium after riot police teargassed marauding hooligans She tweeted on Sunday: “That has to be up there with the worst experience EVER at an away game I can’t comment on things I didn’t see but what I got caught up in was horrific and uncalled for!” ethics and disciplinary bodies had opened a case against Russia over its supporter’ storming of the England end of the Stade Velodrome at the end of the game racist behaviour during the match and the use of fireworks It said it would judge the case on Tuesday, before Russia’s second Euro 2016 Group B match against Slovakia on Wednesday and would implement “corrective measures” to strengthen security at stadiums as a result of “segregation issues” The majority of the 35 people injured on Saturday Russia fans (rear) face England fans in a street in the Old Port area of Marseille Photograph: Guillaume Horcajuelo/EPAA police officer had to administer CPR to a 51-year-old man in the Old Port after he was struck on the head with a weapon and repeatedly kicked on the ground “One Englishman is still in hospital hovering between life and death,” a police spokesman said “He is in a critical condition after his heart stopped before revival.” On Sunday morning friends of the man dropped off his bags at the Timone hospital on the outskirts of the city before leaving Marseille without having been allowed to visit him The two men in their 50s declined to speak about the condition of their friend A hospital source said: “The consulate told his two friends to bring his bags down and leave them with the doctors but they were not able to visit or see him as they were not his direct family They just left the hospital and said they had a train to catch.” In the days preceding the worst of the violence on Saturday evening there were confrontations between England fans and French riot police There were widely reported incidents of British visitors to the town chanting loudly and throwing bottles when confronted by the authorities England fans leaving Marseille from the St Charles train station on Sunday said Russians had appeared intent on attacking them from the moment they appeared in the Old Port part of Marseille on Saturday afternoon “They were very organised,” said Ian Allsop People were getting bottles smashed on their heads Allsop said he had been looking for his 24-year-old son during the violence when he was attacked They just walked straight through all the England fans who were standing about singing,” he said “The Russians just started hitting anyone they could I ducked and punched him back to defend myself I have got tickets for the semi-final but I wouldn’t come if it was here We told them to stop and they took out knives on us Martyn Lowe suffered broken ribs and a black eye

“I’m here with a group of 10 mates We were outside the Queen Victoria pub in the Old Port having some beers Then at least three or four hundred Russians came marching through One of them hit me on the head with a bottle and as I reeled punched me in the face I was trying to get away but the next thing I was on the floor They must have kicked me on the floor because I’ve got broken ribs If that’s the way they get their kicks then fair enough.” travelled to Marseille with his friend Chris Snowdon Wakefield said they would not now attend an upcoming Russia game for which they have tickets “We were walking to the ground minding our own business when the Russians attacked,” he said They came running at us and were kicking and hitting people “I got a smack round the head and have a cut eye I lost my phone after being knocked down.I couldn’t get in touch with Chris I went into the ground but left at half-time because I was bleeding and shaken we’ve got tickets for Russia against Slovakia in Lille We were just standing around having some beers and a bit of food on Saturday afternoon when around 25 Russians steamed in They had black T-shirts with Russian writing on and then ran off when the police arrived.” Russians in Marseille Photograph: Stewart Kendall/Sportsphoto/AllstarConcerns for the safety of England fans as the tournament progresses have been raised by the shadow home secretary He said: “The whole country will have been appalled by the frightening scenes of violence in Marseille a minority of troublemakers have soured what should have been an enjoyable occasion and put the safety of innocent people at risk it is clear that the situation changed yesterday and they were subject to extreme provocation and violence there are concerns for the safety of supporters of all home nations I am surprised by the silence from the government That is why I am calling on the home secretary to make an urgent statement to parliament tomorrow on the actions she is proposing to take working with the French authorities and Uefa to prevent any repeat of what we have seen.” a Russia fan who was at the game with her father and she was ashamed of the behaviour of some of her compatriots “We are of course sorry to the English who got hurt but please believe us that not all Russian people are like these hooligans,” she said “There is a hooligan sub-culture in Russia and sorry but there is nothing us fans can do about that “We were very surprised that there were no police in the stadium In Russia the police are very strong and keep the hooligans in control There was no control in the stadium last night My father and I were in the Old Port and had to run away from the bottles and gas So both countries have good and bad people at football matches.” Lorenzo Sonego

fans is: ‘Look but the best way to support the England team is to have a drink but be respectful.’ Otherwise it is a problem.” Uefa normally argues that it can police behaviour by supporters only inside stadiums, and to that end has launched disciplinary proceedings against Russia over the scenes at the end of the match. It also acknowledged “segregation issues” inside the Stade Vélodrome, where Russians charged at terrified England fans at the final whistle, and promised to work with tournament organisers to improve matters. But in an unusual move, Uefa’s board said it would not hesitate to take additional sanctions, up to and including disqualification, against both teams if their fans were involved in violence again during the course of the tournament. “The Uefa executive committee has warned both football associations that – irrespective of any decisions taken by the independent disciplinary bodies relating to incidents inside the stadium – it will not hesitate to impose additional sanctions on the Football Association and the Russian Football Union, including the potential disqualification of their respective teams from the tournament, should such violence occur again.” The tactics of the police in Marseille came under heavy criticism from England supporters groups, which argued that by dispersing crowds with tear gas rather than arresting heavily organised Russian perpetrators they had left the worst aggressors free to strike again. Russian fans broke through lax security inside the stadium at the end of the match to attack England supporters, including families, who were fleeing for the exit. The English FA has not been charged over the behaviour of its fans inside the stadium. Read moreEarlier in the day, around 200 Russians had attacked England supporters in the old port area of the city, causing serious injuries. Before that there had been three days of skirmishes between England fans, the police and locals Concern will now turn to the northern city of Lille, where Russia will play Slovakia on Wednesday before England face Wales in nearby Lens on Thursday. England fans have been officially advised by the authorities to stay away from Lens if they don’t have a ticket and to head for Lille instead leading to fears they will again clash with Russia fans England striker Wayne Rooney is to make a statement on Monday urging fans to be on their best behaviour for the game with manager Roy Hodgson likely to issue a similar warning on Tuesday Cazeneuve announced on Sunday that there is to be a ban on alcohol sales and consumption in certain high-risk areas The alcohol ban will be enforced the day before and the day of matches Kevin Miles, chief executive of the Football Supporters Federation, said he was against throwing either England or Russia out of the competition, arguing such a move would punish the majority for the ills of a minority. But he said that when England had been threatened with expulsion from the 2000 European Championship in the Netherlands and Belgium, after incidents in Charleroi the government introduced banning orders and the FA brought in its membership scheme He said Russian authorities needed to prove they were serious about taking action to combat hooliganism There were eyewitness reports of some of the Russians who were involved in disorder wearing official accreditation and handing out tickets before the match Others pointed to footage that appeared to show the Russian sports minister who downplayed the seriousness of the clashes waving to crowds shortly after the surge towards the English fans began The British government has offered to assist the French following the violence scenes of which dominated the front pages of the French newspapers and offered to send more police “to support the security operation around the match in Lens” As has been the case at every major tournament for the past two decades UK police have travelled to France to liaise with local security forces and try to quell the potential for trouble But it is believed that the French police ignored advice on how to contain the unruly English fans who had gathered in the old port area and instead opted to disperse them with teargas instead Around 90,000 police and security personnel are on duty across France, amid heightened tension in the wake of the Paris terror attacks seven months ago that killed 130 people. “UK police will be assisting the French with their post-incident investigations and supporting them to gather evidence, including evidence against any England fans involved in the disorder,” said the Downing Street spokeswoman. Six British nationals remained in hospital following the violence in Marseille, she added. Russia was also charged by Uefa over fireworks being let off inside the stadium and racist behaviour, thought to relate to a banner showing the Celtic Cross. It is understood that other Russian far-right flags were also spotted in the stadium and will be included in the disciplinary report. the executive director of anti-racism group Fare which has an official monitoring role for Uefa said: “We have already identified the fact there is a rump of far-right Russian fans who are setting the tone for a lot of other Russian fans.” Uefa’s control, ethics and disciplinary body will meet on Tuesday to decide on sanctions against Russia before their game against Slovakia in Lille the following day. But Uefa and Euro 2016 organisers will also face tough questions over the policing and security arrangements amid increasingly loud demands to know why the match was played in Marseille in the first place There is understood to be belated acknowledgment at senior levels within Uefa that sticking slavishly to the idea of slotting matches randomly into preselected venues is flawed That system led not only to England facing Russia on a Saturday evening in the same city where there was large-scale disorder at the 1998 World Cup but Roy Hodgson’s side then facing Wales in Lens Previous incidents of disorder involving the next World Cup hosts are likely to count against Russia with Saturday’s game their first to be organised by Uefa since the lifting of probationary sanctions that were threatened after violent disorder by its fans in Poland four years ago Uefa deferred a sanction of ordering Russia to play three home Euro 2016 qualifying games in empty stadiums The stadium ban would have been activated if fan violence during qualifying matches was repeated Uefa had initially threatened Russia with a six-point deduction in Euro 2016 qualifying but that was removed on appeal the Russian sports minister who led its successful bid to host the 2018 World Cup and sits on Fifa’s executive committee insisted in the wake of the trouble that it had been exaggerated in fact everything is fine here,” Mutko told R-Sport Such matches should be organised properly.” La Provence and L’Équipe report that 38-year-old French goalkeeper Yohann Pelé and understudy to Steve Mandanda has agreed to a new 12-month contract with Ligue 1 side Marseille Pelé’s current deal expires at the end of the month & OM who are heading into the summer window in a cash-strapped situation owing to prior overspending and FFP infringements have decided that they simply cannot afford to invest in a young OM President Jacques-Henri Eyraud has been conducting these negotiations personally and in quite an unorthodox fashion left the player’s agents entirely out of the talks surely in a bid to save on potential commission fees as the club seeks to save costs wherever possible Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker 7.29pm: Here's the first of your 'strange reasons for supporting clubs' stories "I wanted to share with you why I am an Arsenal fan and because I had no Internet access and the nearest store that sold World Soccer or When Saturday Comes was 60 miles away I knew nothing about the Premier League or any of its clubs belligerent teenage self saw "Arsenal" on the list of teams in the game Even when I started reading about George Graham's handiwork in the transfer market overall."

After the match fans spilled on the streets where the violence appeared to continue Videos shared on Twitter showed opposing groups scattering as flares were set off Among those caught up in the violence was the wife of England and Leicester striker Jamie Vardy She wrote on Twitter the event was the "worst experience ever at an away game" The England-Russia game was one of five classified as "high-risk" for hooliganism by tournament organisers and Marseille residents said the violence should have been expected Former England striker Gary Lineker also laid some of the blame on fans from his own country "You can talk about police provocation but it only seems to happen where the English go," he said The chaotic scenes were the latest chapter in a three-day story of mayhem and disorder surrounding the match with sporadic violence flaring repeatedly between rival fans Rival fans had also clashed in the streets of the southern French city before the game with French riot police firing tear gas as fans threw bottles and chairs there are fears some Russian fans will cast a stain over the 2018 World Cup There were also scuffles between visiting fans and locals in the narrow streets leading off Marseille's Vieux Port (Old Port) Emergency services said one person suffered a heart attack during the fracas and had been taken to hospital while one middle-aged England fan was knocked unconscious Water cannon trucks moved in and dozens of police armed with batons cordoned off streets firing tear gas to break up the skirmishes More than 1,000 police and a further 500 stewards were on duty at the stadium with a further 1,000 overseeing events at the nearby fan zone where around 80,000 people watched the match on giant screens Broken glass and debris littered some roads and walkways near the Queen Victoria pub, focal point of clashes between English, Russian and French fans on Thursday and Friday The clouds of tear gas produced images of unrest all too similar to those in the city 18 years ago when violence flared for two days and nights around England's World Cup game against Tunisia Four years ago Russia was sanctioned and handed a suspended six-point deduction following crowd trouble at Euro 2012 England supporters throw projectiles at the old port of Marseille before the game. (Reuters: Jean-Paul Pelissier) There were also clashes in Nice, where Northern Ireland fans clashed with locals ahead of their match against Poland. According to a Northern Ireland police officer accompanying fans at the scene, French riot police moved in after local youths hurled bottles at Northern Ireland supporters in cafes near the central Place Massena. "About 20 to 30 Nice youths started throwing bottles at the Northern Ireland fans. Some bottles were thrown back, some punches were thrown," the officer said. "French police arrived to contain the situation." Dozens of riot police were on the pedestrian street after the incidents ended. Northern Ireland play Poland in Group C in Nice on Sunday.
