Wayne Rooney grabbed himself a souvenir on Tuesday night – a snap with former Manchester United team-mates Paul Pogba and Patrice Evra.

United captain Rooney grabbed the picture shortly after England’s victory against France on what was an emotion-filled fixture at Wembley stadium.

Alongside the picture, which was posted on social media by Equipe de France, it said: ‘Photo souvenir at @Wembley Stadium last night after #ENGVFRA with Paul Pogba, @WayneRooney and Patrice Evra.’

It was just one example of how France and England came together in solidarity on Tuesday night as football took somewhat of a step back following Friday’s terror attacks in Paris.

Both sets of fans, more than 70,000 in total, joined in with the French national anthem at Wembley in memory of the 129 innocent lives taken by the ISIS-led attacks.

The travelling France squad, who all made the decision not to pull out of the game over the weekend, were also welcomed by the Tricolore.

There was also a perfectly-observed minutes silence, while Prince William and the Prime Minister David Cameron also attended.

England went on to win the game 2-0 thanks to goals from Tottenham youngster Dele Alli and Rooney, with the former being named man-of-the-match.
