Premier League pays tribute to Black Lives Matter and NHS as season restarts

The Premier League got back underway at long last on Wednesday evening with clubs and players paying tribute to both the NHS and Black Lives Matter movement.

After a 100-day wait, Aston Villa and Sheffield United kicked off the season restart at Villa Park – with Manchester City versus Arsenal to follow – though football looked very different indeed with no crowds or ball boys but plenty of face masks, while each team’s kit has undergone a transformation.

Players have had the names on the back of their shirts replaced with ‘Black Lives Matter’ for the first 12 fixtures of the restarted Premier League season, continuing through to Burnley’s trip to face Man City on Monday evening. (Metro)
