Meanwhile, the Premier League has formally adopted Hawk-Eye for next season.

I have not bothered to include the rest of the article - because it goes on about Lampard's 2010 ghost goal and that Ukraine ghost goal that was offside anyway. Both of which are etremely tedious and long-dead now.

The Premier League has voted to introduce goal-line technology from the 2013-14 season.
British-based Hawk-Eye has been awarded the contract to provide the system.
Hawk-Eye uses seven cameras per goal to detect the ball and claims its system is "millimetre accurate, ensuring no broadcast replays could disprove the decision".
The Football Association will install a system at Wembley Stadium in time for the August's Community Shield.
Top-flight clubs voted to adopt the system during a meeting of the 20 Premier League chairmen on Thursday.
Hawk-Eye is known for providing tennis and cricket with ball-tracking technology. Its football system notifies the referee if the ball has crossed the goal line via a vibration and optical signal sent to the officials' watches within one second.
Once work is under way, installation of the system for the 17 Premier League clubs who avoid relegation and the three teams promoted from the Football League is expected to take up to six weeks to complete.
