Man City striker Sergio Aguero was happy that goal-line technology was in play when in play after his winner against Burnley just about counted.
City needed a victory over Burnley or else Liverpool would have been handed a huge advantage in the Premier League title race with just two games remaining.
It was a tough game at Turf Moor, with a resolute Burnley defence frustrating City for large periods.
City weren't themselves in the opening 45 minutes but began to turn the screw in the second half. City were denied a clear penalty when the ball struck Ashley Barnes' arm but a goal was coming and it eventually arrived on the 63rd minute.
The ball ricocheted in the area and landed at Aguero's feet who's shot goal-wards was cleared away by Matt Lowton on the line, but not before it had already fully crossed over.
It was the breakthrough City desperately needed and they held on to grind out a pivotal 1-0 win.
Aguero spoke after the game at how happy he was with scoring such an important goal.
"Today was happy with the technology," the Argentine told Sky Sports, though he was sure it had already gone in.
