Sky Sports will screen goals and highlights on Twitter

Twitter has revealed a deal with Sky Sports that will see Premier League highlights and goals appear on the social site for the 2016/17 season.

As part of the agreement, Twitter users in the UK and Ireland will be able to see video clips of key moments and goals from all games broadcast by Sky in real time via the @SkyFootball Twitter account.

The Sky Sports Football Centre app will also carry full highlights of every Premier League and Football League match for Sky Sports TV customers, including those shown on BT Sport after those games have ended.
