Goal-line technology would be 100% accurate and effectively free for Premier League clubs, the inventor of the Hawk-Eye system has claimed.

Paul Hawkins, managing director of Hawk-Eye Innovations, gave a cautious welcome to FIFA president Sepp Blatter's announcement that the issue of goal-line technology would be revisited next month, just four months after FIFA had kicked it into touch.
