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. With its 12th straight victory in the league, City — seeking to retain the title for the first time — moved one point clear of Liverpool with two games left. Aguero joined Thierry Henry as the only players to score 20 or more goals in five straight Premier League seasons. Arsenal is also struggling to qualify for Europe’s top club competition — by virtue of its Premier League placing, anyway — after getting beaten 3-0 at Leicester. It could mean the team’s best chance of Champions League qualification is through winning the Europa League rather than finishing in the Premier League’s top four.
