when did goal line technology start in england
Goal-line technology The Football Association announced that Hawk-Eye would be used in the 2013–14 Premier League season.[42] On 16 December 2013, it was announced that Hawk-Eye would be used in three of the four quarter-finals and subsequent matches in the League Cup.[43] The system was used when, on the very next day, in the Sunderland – Chelsea quarter-final, a goal from Frank Lampard was allowed.[44] The first goal to be decisively awarded using goal-line technology in the English Premier League was Edin Džeko's goal for Manchester City against Cardiff City on 18 January 2014.[45]
Three-point field goal The three-point line was first tested at the collegiate level in a 1945 NCAA game between Columbia and Fordham but it was not kept as a rule. At the direction of Abe Saperstein, the American Basketball League became the first basketball league to institute the rule in 1961. Its three-point line was a radius of 25 feet (7.62 m) from the baskets, except along the sides.[2] The Eastern Professional Basketball League followed in its 1963–64 season.
