An illegal streaming gang sold cut-price subscriptions to Premier League matches to more than 50,000 football fans. Five men have been jailed after they were convicted of conspiracy to defraud, money laundering and contempt of court, the Premier League said.

The gang generated more than £7 million from their illegal trade in the space of five years. Mark Gould, 36, from London, was reported to have masterminded the operation.
