Goal-line technology a must - Mark Lawrenson

BBC Sport's Mark Lawrenson believes the introduction of goal-line technology in football is long overdue.

The Football Association has told the BBC that it is currently testing several different systems, external to determine whether the ball has crossed the line, and technology could be introduced as early as next season in the Premier League.

Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, Lawrenson says other sports like cricket and tennis have proved technology can be used successfully and believes it's about time football caught up.
