​Premier League refs told to use pitchside monitors

Premier League referees have been told to start using pitchside monitors for red card decisions where it is felt they should have the final say, reports BBC Sport.

The Professional Game Match Officials Limited, the body that manages elite referees, has issued the guidance.

The move was welcomed by Premier League managers. Speaking on Friday Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said "It is a positive move. The referee will be taking responsibility himself. I like that."
