England fans have arrived in Marseille ahead of Saturday's Euro 2016 opener against Russia, and a collection of Three Lions supporters apparently couldn't resist the urge to cause a disturbance for the second night on the trot.

Stationed in Marseille's Vieux-Port on Friday, fans clashed with police. Similar disruptions took place in the same area the night prior, with four policeman reportedly injured, according to BBC Sport.

The police opted for tear gas on a group that was described as "quite menacing."

Initial reports state that one English fan and one Marseille resident have been arrested, and there hasn't been any damage to local property.
