the results from the league format have left teams with identical records. So you're not over-riding the league results - they just haven't been decisive so you need some other way.
In the past there's been coin tosses and stuff like that. This is surely fairer - the only thing fairer still would be a full replay. But playing an extra game would disadvantage the winner.
(Guess the other thing you could do would be to countback some other stat - eg corners or shots or something. But that feels, to me at least, like you might start distorting the game a bit, if teams were playing to get more of those.)
