Hallelujah, it works! Goal-line decision system used to full effect at Stamford Bridge with McGregor save
Goal-line technology was required again in the Barclays Premier League at Stamford Bridge on Sunday - and thankfully it was successful.
Chelsea were 2-0 up in first-half stoppage time against newly-promoted Hull on Jose Mourinho's return to English football when Hawk-Eye was deployed.
Branislav Ivanovic met Frank Lampard's corner with a firm header hit straight at Hull goalkeeper Allan McGregor, who saved on the line at the second attempt.

Not over the line: Alan McGregor just about keeps the header out, with the system proving so

The referee's watch will only buzz when the ball crosses the goal-line, so it can be safe to assume Jonathan Moss felt no vibrations in a decision which is now out of his hands.
There were no protests from the Chelsea players and Mourinho and Hull counterpart Steve Bruce shared pleasantries as the half came to an end.
Replays also indicated the technology was working and Hawk-Eye's view of the incident was broadcast on television and on the big screen in the ground.
Chelsea midfielder Kevin de Bruyne was happy with how the system worked, telling Sky Sports 1: 'It was clearly not over the line. The technology is good so there will be no questions further.'
The new goal decision system (GDS) was given an opening-day test at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
An effort from Aston Villa midfielder Fabian Delph following a quick counter-attack beat Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny but struck the inside of the right-hand post and rolled across the line.
GDS came into play as television replays showed the referee Anthony Taylor had been notified that the ball did not cross the line at any point.
