Premier League clubs were united on Saturday as the French national anthem was played ahead of kick-off at stadiums in tribute to the victims of the Paris terror attacks.
Following the international break, top-flight clubs returned to action this weekend and fans up and down the country paid a moving tribute in a show of support for the events which unfolded in the French capital last week.
'La Marseillaise' was heard across the Premier League grounds - while players also wore black armbands - with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger among those to show their respects on Saturday.
