MP calls for video replays

The MP for Durham, Gerry Steinberg, has tabled a Commons motion backing the use of video replays in football.

Steinberg's action has arisen after Sunderland had a controversial last-minute goal awarded against them in the play-off defeat by Crystal Palace.

The motion called for: "...playback facilities so that incorrect decisions can be rectified."

It continued: "...thereby preventing one man running and determining a match based on incorrect decisions."
