The biggest Premier League winning margins

Newcastle United’s 8-0 win at Sheffield United in September 2023 got us thinking – which games have generated the biggest Premier League winning margins?

The Magpies fell one short of the record, which is the nine-goal margin set by three clubs on four different occasions:

• Manchester United 9-0 Ipswich Town – March 1995
• Southampton 0-9 Leicester City – October 2019
• Manchester United 9-0 Southampton – February 2021
• Liverpool 9-0 Bournemouth – August 2022

Another seven matches have had eight-goal winning margins including the aforementioned Newcastle romp against the hapless Blades.

• Tottenham Hotspur 9-1 Wigan Athletic – November 2009
• Chelsea 8-0 Wigan Athletic – May 2010
