Technology helps Man City’s push for Premier League title
BURNLEY, England — Cruelly denied by VAR in its agonizing Champions League exit, Manchester City relied on technology to keep its Premier League title charge on course on Sunday.
City scraped past Burnley 1-0 thanks to a scruffy strike by Sergio Aguero that needed the confirmation of goal-line technology.
The distance over the line? Less than 3 centimetres.
The nervy wait before referee Paul Tierney awarded the goal was in keeping with a tense match at Turf Moor that ended with City having six defenders on the field — including four centre backs — and under instructions from Pep Guardiola to “get it in the corner.”
