Lowton: City Winner Hard To Take
Matt Lowton was devastated to fall just the wrong side of the winning line as Manchester City left Turf Moor with their title dream still intact.
City’s 1-0 victory took them back to the top of the Premier League as they over-hauled Liverpool with two games to go.
But the crucial goal, scored in the second half by Sergio Aguero, was shown by goalline technology to be in by less than three centimetres as Lowton performed heroics to block a shot and try and hook the ball clear.
“We gave everything we could. We defended with our lives but in the end, they just managed to squeeze one over the line,” said the Clarets’ defender.
