Good morning - here's the key headlines from the overnight Euro 2016 action on a day when fighting between Russia and England fans overshadowed anything on the pitch

 

England pay price for missed chances

England completely dominated their opening match against Russia in group B, but were left slumped to their knees on the final whistle after letting Vasili Berezutski head in an injury-time equaliser.

Eric Dier's free-kick gave England the lead in the 73rd minute, by which time they could have been three or four up against a poor Russia side.

But they fell asleep late on and Berezutski punished them with a towering leap and looping header to convert Russia's only chance of the game.

Shockingly, Russia fans appeared to attack the English en masse on the final whistle.
