The French national anthem was played at all Premier League grounds as a mark of respect for the victims of the Paris attacks.

The Premier League honoured the victims of the Paris attacks on Saturday as La Marseillaise was played before all games.

Several Premier League players were involved in the France-Germany friendly targeted by bombers as 130 people were killed in the French capital last Friday night.
