This is a classy move from the French top flight side.

Saint-Etienne unfurled a banner in solidarity with the families of victims of the 1989 Hillsborough tragedy during a league game on Sunday. The banner, which remained pitchside all the way through the 2-0 win over Lille, read: 'Hillsborough, 25 years of lies...Justice for the 96' SaintEtienne Image: BT Sport

The banner was well received in the UK.
