Football fans were left 'heartbroken' as Hesgoal.com pulled the plug on their Premier League and Scottish Premiership coverage. This left thousands in the dark with the owner stating that they need to respect the people who have the official rights to show the games. The site is by far the UK’s most popular illegal live streaming portal for watching sport. But on the weekend of the derby between Manchester City and Manchester United, fans looking for a way to watch the huge clash were left disappointed.

HesGoal was established more than ten years ago.

Since then, it has steadily expanded its user base globally, with more than 40 million monthly visits, according to SimilarWeb. It has proved particularly popular in the UK, where it accounts for more than a quarter of all traffic with live coverage of La Liga, Scottish Premiership and Serie A a mainstay on the website. However, a surprise pop-up announcement revealed this will no longer be the case. It said: "Dear visitors, We decided to stop putting any link of the English Premier League matches on the site 'www.hesgoal.com' anymore.

"Sorry for that but we respect the English Premier League holder's rights."

They then add several links to the official sites of BT Sports, Sky, among others for fans to subscribe to. It is thought that the Premier League has gone to court in the US, requesting CDN provider Cloudflare to help identify the owners of the service.

One person tweeted: "This is the worst news I've had all year."

While another wrote: "A streaming site with ethics?? They’re finished."

This feeling was echoed as further person added: "It’s not long until all the illegal streaming services will be gone, and the broadcasters will take full advantage of it knowing there is no other way to watch games from home, so the prices will rocket. I fear for English fans."
