Manchester City forward Vivianne Miedema calls for the introduction of goal-line technology after Sunday’s controversy in the Women’s Super League.
The 28-year old who had given City an early lead was denied what she thought should have been a second goal in her team’s 2-1 win at Spurs after a goal-line clearance.
The Netherlands International then saw a second-half header acrobatically cleared off the line by Tottenham Hotspur’s goalkeeper, Ash Neville, who turned the ball against the underside of the crossbar and out.The ball looked to have crossed the line, but, with only one match camera and no goal-line technology in operation at Brisbane Road, a goal was not given.
Speaking to Sky Sports News after the game, Miedema said: “It looked like it for me [that the ball had crossed the line].
“But I think that’s the next step we need to make, goal-line technology regardless of whether it goes in or not.
“I think we deserve that as a league and I would really like to see changes come in really fast in the game.We’re always pushing to be better and the level of the league is developing so quickly – and I think things like that just can’t stay behind.
“Aoba Fujino scored late in the second half to eventually secure City a 2-1 victory.Manchester will return to action when they take on Aston Villa in the Quarter finals of the Women’s FA Cup, while Tottenham Hotspur will go up against Brighton next Sunday.
