PLAY-OFF Competition

I thought that giving both scorers the winning goal would be just. If they had scored one after Vaulks had scored I would have given Vaulks as the winning goal.

There is plenty of authority on what constitutes a "winning goal" in football. It is in short the first goal scored by the winning team that is not (here's the important bit) subsequently nullified by an equalising goal. In a 2:0 win the "winning goal" is always the first goal scored. If scoring goes 1:0; 1:1; 2:1 the winning goal is the second goal scored by the winning team. If scoring goes 1:0; 2:0; 2:1 the winning goal is still the first goal as the losing team did not equalise.
