text: has premiership ever been a draw? has either the premiership or the first division (it's previous incarnation) been a draw at the end of the season and had to be settled by goal difference? and what would happen if it was a draw and the gd was the same between the two top teams? the most famous one happened during the 1988-1989 english first division season. both arsenal & liverpool level on points at the end of the season with 76 points but arsenal win the league due to higher goals scored. both teams has the same goal differences of 37 goals.  ironically, the league championship was decided on the last day of the season when arsenal beat liverpool at anfield. michael thomas scored the second goal to secure a 2-0 win to seal the championship.
