Dele Alli gives England victory but Wembley stands united with France

Dele Alli enjoyed an impressive full debut as Roy Hodgson’s men beat France, although the 2-0 win paled into insignificance given the Wembley friendly allowed England to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Euro 2016 hosts after the atrocities in Paris.

Terrorist attacks across the French capital saw at least 129 people murdered on Friday, with bombs let off outside the Stade de France reverberating around the ground during France’s friendly with Germany.

The ripples spread far wider, though, as midfielder Lassana Diarra’s cousin Asta Diakite was one of those killed during the attacks, while Antoine Griezmann’s sister managed to escape the mass killing at the Bataclan theatre.
