MARSEILLE, France — After a week of violence at the European Championship, France sentenced three Russian fans to prison and planned to deport 20 others next week for their role in the violence in Marseille that marred Russia’s opening match against England.

Sporadic violence has since moved to northern France, where Russia played Slovakia on Wednesday and England played Wales on Thursday. But nothing as bad as the violence witnessed last week in the south.

Among the three Russians given prison terms is Alexei Erunov, the director for fan relations at leading Russian club Lokomotiv Moscow. He was sentenced to two years.

Part of the evidence against Erunov was footage filmed by another Russian fan and posted online. Erunov was seen shouting and gesturing on the video, which also showed acts of violence. He denied playing any role in the violence.

Dynamo Moscow fan Nikolai Morozov also received a sentence of 12 months and Sergei Gorbachev, the director of a construction company in Tula, received 18 months.

Gorbachev’s lawyer said the sentence was “relatively severe” and may have been adversely impacted by media coverage.

“I feel that the media and political context could have interfered with the pronouncement of this sentence,” Chloe Gobet told reporters.

All three also face a two-year ban from France upon release.

The sentences were passed on the same day that French officials announced 20 more Russian fans would be deported because of what regional prefect Stephane Bouillon called “their participation in skirmishes linked to the England-Russia game.”

The 20 were detained alongside the three who were tried Thursday and included Alexander Shprygin, president of the All-Russian Fans’ Union, who has a role in Russian soccer’s governing body and sits on a commission overseeing Moscow’s preparations for hosting the 2018 World Cup.

HALFTIME SUBSTITUTE Daniel Sturridge scored an injury-time winner to give England a 2-1 come-from-behind victory over Wales at Lens.

England had fallen behind after Gareth Bale scored from a long-distance free kick in the 42nd minute. But Jamie Vardy scored the equalizer, pouncing on a misdirected defensive clearance in the 56th minute.

Once in a weak position in Group B, the English are now in first place and cannot finish lower than third, likely earning a spot in the last 16.

Northern Ireland secured its first victory in a major competition in 34 years, beating Ukraine 2-0 at Lyon, while Germany and Poland played out the first goalless draw of the tournament at Saint-Denis.
