Sunny Singh Gill has become the first British South Asian to referee a Premier League match by taking charge of Crystal Palace's home game with Luton at Selhurst Park on Saturday. The official had a quiet match, as Palace took an early lead before Cauley Woodrow equalised for Luton six minutes into added time at the end of the game.
