41 - 1953, Arsenal claim league title by just 0.099 of a goalwtf?
Arsenal and Preston finished with identical records of 21 wins, 12 draws and nine defeats. Goal average was needed to separate the sides and Whittaker's players were rewarded for their attacking ethos. Arsenal's goal average was 1.516, Preston's was 1.417. The margin of victory? A mere 0.099 of a goal.Rest of the article
