In recent years, the Premier League have rigorously clamped down on social media users that published footage from the English top flight on Twitter and other social media channels.
David Gibbs, the digital director for Sky Sports and Sky News, spoke of his excitement at the announcement.
"We're delighted to be working with Twitter to bring in-game clips to football fans across the UK & Ireland as part of our biggest ever season of football. With more than 30 million users across a variety of platforms, Sky Sports is already the number one digital destination for sports in the UK. By expanding our partnership with Twitter, we can bring even more great action to an even bigger audience."The decision to publish clips from the Premier League on Twitter comes after a similar approach was taken during this summer's European Championships in France. ITV Sport's Twitter accounts frequently posted footage of goals from their televeised games seconds after they had been scored.
