(Reuters) - Football's law-making body will look at plans to curb time-wasting in the Premier League after Cardiff City's home match against Burnley on Sunday marked a five-year low for playing time, The Times and others reported on Tuesday.

The ball was in play in Burnley's 2-1 win for just 42 minutes and two seconds out of the regulation 90 minutes. Cardiff defender Sean Morrison reportedly took an average of 25 seconds to make long throw-ins.
