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 and Wolves' Max Kilman throughout the warm-ups.

During the pre-game build-up, shaky clips were shown from the cam as the former Nottingham Forest forward and the defender got ready for action with their 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.”

Fans were torn on the new impressive feature as the topic soon went viral on social media.

One joked: “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.”

However, not everybody was against it.

One viewer said: “Good to see a player's eyes view.”
