5th/6th official in Europa League

Watching the Everton game I notice they have 2 extra officials (1 behind each goal)

Interesting - wonder what their involvment will be?

How they working out?

Uefa put them there as a result of 'simulation' didn't they? I'm not watching, but if they're on the wrong side of the goal, how can they be of any help?
