Goal-line technology approved by IFAB

Goal-line technology has been approved as part of the laws of football in an historic decision by the International FA Board (IFAB).

Two systems, Hawk-Eye and GoalRef, have been approved by the IFAB after passing a series of scientific tests.

Technology could be introduced into the Premier League as soon as the new year following the decision at a meeting in Zurich.

Hawk-Eye was developed in Romsey and was first tested at St. Mary's Stadium in Southampton.
