TNT Sports decided to introduce a new feature as part of the show before the big kick-off.
And that was a bodycam being attached to Spurs star Brennan Johnson throughout the away side’s warm-up.
During the pre-game build-up, shaky clips were shown from the cam as the former Nottingham Forest forward got ready for action with his team-mates in a number of ball and fitness drills.
The broadcaster confirmed before the game: “TNT Sports and the @PremierLeague have partnered on a new innovation that will be trialled for Wolves vs Tottenham.
“A special AI-powered stabilisation bodycam will be affixed to a player from each side during the warm-up prior to the Saturday lunchtime kick-off.”
But not everybody watching was a fan of it.
One fan wrote on social media: “I’m hungover and this pre match body cam on Brennan Johnson is making me feel sick.”
Another viewer commented: “‘Pre match body cam’ is a football broadcast innovation that no one asked for or needed.”
While a fellow fan tuning in said: “The bodycam is awful, unwatchable makes me feel sick. Get rid.”
However, not everybody was against it.
One viewer said: “Good to see a player’s eyes view.”
“It’s great insight,” said another while a fellow fan said that they were “really enjoying it”.
