🎥 The biggest Premier League victories ever 😳 | OneFootball

Leicester City equalled the record for the biggest Premier League win ever with Friday night’s 9-0 thrashing of Southampton.

But the Foxes aren’t the only club to enjoy such a massive margin of victory.

We reflect on some of the other most one-sided beatings.

Manchester United 9-0 Ipswich Town (1995)

Prior to Leicester’s easy swatting aside of the Saints, United’s nine-goal win at home against Ipswich in the mid ’90s stood alone as the Premier League’s biggest beatdown.

Andy Cole was the star of the show at Old Trafford as he netted five times, while Mark Hughes helped himself to a brace.

Midfielders Roy Keane and Paul Ince supplied the others in a game that has an interesting link to Leicester’s big win on Friday.

Peter Schmeichel was little more than a spectator between the posts that day – much as his son Kasper was at St Mary’s in another 9-0 win 24 years later.

Tottenham 9-1 Wigan (2009)

Another team putting nine past their opponents and another striker filling his boots to grab five.

This time, Tottenham and Jermain Defoe were the benefactors of some abysmal defending at White Hart Lane a decade ago.

Incredibly, this game was only 1-0 at half-time thanks to Peter Crouch’s early header but in the second half, Aaron Lennon, David Bentley and Niko Kranjčar piled on the agony for Wigan.

Paul Scharner’s consolation strike now has little other than pub quiz question status attached to it.

Newcastle 8-0 Sheffield Wednesday (1999)

Yet another game that features an eight-goal victory spearheaded by an England international’s five-goal salvo.

On this occasion, it was Alan Shearer doing the damage by popping up with the majority of the goals, two of which came from the spot.

Aaron Hughes, Gary Speed and Kieron Dyer grabbed the others in Sir Bobby Robson’s first home game in charge.

Southampton 8-0 Sunderland (2014)

It isn’t all bad news for Southampton, who actually feature on this list for positive reasons due to the hammering they handed Sunderland in 2014.

Santiago Vergini’s comical early own goal got things going and team-mate Liam Bridcutt added another to give Saints some assistance they really didn’t need.

Graziano Pellè scored twice, while Jack Cork, Dusan Tadič, Victor Wanyama and Sadio Mané got the others.

What is it about St Mary’s and goals flowing?

Chelsea 8-0 Wigan (2010)

Poor Wigan. They are the only side to have conceded at least eight goals on two separate occasions in the Premier League.

To make things worse, this one occurred in the same season and just a few months after they had been battered on another trip to London.

Didier Drogba hit a hat-trick, Frank Lampard both scored twice and Salomon Kalou, Nicolas Anelka and Ashley Cole came up with the others.

Manchester City 8-0 Watford (2019)

Just last month, we saw Manchester City mount an assault on breaking the record and for long spells of this one, it looked like they’d manage it.

Pep Guardiola’s men were simply scintillating and found themselves 5-0 after just 18 minutes, leaving double figures looking inevitable.

The Hornets recovered (kind of!) to prevent that happening in a contest which saw Bernardo Silva help himself to a hat-trick.

David Silva, Sergio Agüero, Riyad Mahrez, Nicolás Otamendi and Kevin De Bruyne got the others for a rampant City side.

Chelsea 8-0 Aston Villa (2012)

Chelsea also have a special place when it comes to racking up big wins, having won 8-0 twice in the span of just two years.

Aston Villa were the unfortunate recipients of a heavy defeat two years after the Wigan win,  in a game that saw seven different men hit the net.

Lampard was the only scoring survivor if the last big win and in addition to a Ramires hat-trick, David Luiz, Fernando Torres, Branislav Ivanović, Oscar and Eden Hazard hit the net.
