You’ll now be able to see Premier League goals for free as soon as they go in

Step away from that dodgy stream...

Premier League clips are to be made freely available on Twitter next season to fans in the UK and Ireland.

The social media company and Sky Sports have agreed on a deal to show clips of goals and key incidents within minutes of them occurring.

The video clips will be posted on Sky’s football Twitter account, while highlights of Premier League and Football league matches are set to be made available after games.

xxxx during the Barclays Premier League match between Leicester City and Everton at The King Power Stadium on May 7, 2016 in Leicester, United Kingdom.

The move represents a departure for the Premier League, who in the past have been very quick to remove footage of goals from social media.

Sky will also broadcast 3pm kick-offs in Ireland next season.
