FANS are calling for the Premier League to start using a new camera angle after they got a taste of it in pre-season.
Following the pre-season clash between Aston Villa and Newcastle in the Premier League Summer Series fans got a never-before-seen view of the game.
The coverage featured a fascinating view from on the pitch after a camera was strapped to Youri Tielemans’ chest.
Villa’s new signing was making his debut and did so whilst wearing a body camera.
The footage that it recorded is incredible and it has given fans a new appreciation for how hard top level football is.
The fast-paced intensity seemed to blow fans minds as they saw it first hand, with many taking to social media to make their thoughts known.
