A mother was run over and killed in front of her children by an Algerian football fan celebrating his team's win as supporters rioted in Paris following the country's Africa Cup of Nations victory last night.

A night of wild celebrations turned to violence in the French capital after Algeria defeated Ivory Coast 4-3 on penalties in Egypt to reach the semi finals of the competition.

Dozens were arrested while three motorcycle dealerships were looted around the Champs Elysee as police used teargas on supporters.
