Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen joked that he is now a fan of goal-line technology after his header was ruled to have crossed the line in Spurs' weekend win over Newcastle.
Within eight minutes of the new season, Vertonghen scored his first Premier League goal since 2013, latching onto a flick from fellow centre back Davinson Sanchez before heading the ball onto the crossbar and over the line, despite the best efforts of Martin Dubravka in the Newcastle goal.
In real-time it was not immediately apparent that the ball had gone in and Martin Atkinson needed the Goal Decision System to tell him that it was just 9mm over the line.
