However, if the game at the Etihad had finished in a score draw then Liverpool would win the head to head on away goals.
The Leroy goal could have been worth more than a wrecked coach!

Not sure the first part is quite right.
The article I read said that the head-to-head ruling only comes into play if points, goal difference, AND goals scored are all the same. So goals scored still comes first.
Previously there would have been a play-off, but now they'll use head-to-head records to separate them. If the head-to-records are the same, they then go to away goals. If they still can't be separated, the play-off takes place.
However, I read all this in the Mail, so there's every chance that it's them who's got it wrong!
When does it come down to boundaries?
