Sky Sports have decided to issue an apology to viewers after Serge Aurier’s goal against Sheffield United coming on Sunday afternoon.
Tottenham fans were left them frustrated at the broadcaster after a sound issue caused them to hear Serge Aurier give their side the lead against Chris Wilder’s side before a ball was kicked.
The issue meant the audio was well and truly ahead of the video footage, and that wasn’t the first time it happened throughout the game.
@SkySports can we have the sound in sync please 🤪 pic.twitter.com/a5MAoqOX4v

Firstly, Harry Kane played the superb ball into the direction of Steven Bergwijn who had a shot from the edge of the area in the opening minutes of the clash.
Bergwijn then smashed the ball towards goal, forcing Sheffield United goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale to produce probably the only save you could call good in the 3-1 defeat.
Yet again an audio issue meant that fans knew the save had been made before Bergwijn even took the shot, now wouldn’t that proper get on your nerves?
It happened again, this time from a resulting corner kick, Serge Aurier lifted high to head in from Son Heung-Min’s cross.
Yet, viewers could hear the two commentators revealing that their had been goal before the cross came in.
Moments later, Sky Sports issued an apology, with Bill Leslie, the man commentating on the game, reading out the statement.
“If you’re having problems with the sound we apologise,” he said on the Premier League coverage. “We are having some audio problems we are working to fix. Hopefully we’ll have those right sooner rather than later.”
As mentioned, viewers weren’t satisfied with the issue Sky Sports was having before making an apology after Segre Aurier’s goal, see what fans tweeted below…
