On Sunday, Newcastle United etched themselves into history, fitting the first Premier League side to have eight different players score in a match, except own goals. The Magpies blazed past the newly promoted Sheffield United 8-0, with correct back Keiran Trippier providing a hat trick of assists.
Newcastle scored three goals in the first half of the match, and even an injury to Harvey Barnes wasn’t enough to slow the Magpies down, as they scored five goals in the second one half of play. On the other hand, while Newcastle have probably the most largest victory margins in Premier League history, how do they compare to other routs that we’ve seen in the competition? Let’s just say, there have been four bigger victories.
Manchester United 9, Ipswich Town 0
In March 1995, the Red Devils secured a victory over Ipswich Town, with Andy Cole scoring five goals in a unmarried match despite having only two goals in all of the season up to that point. Roy Keane and Paul Ince added to the scoring.
Southampton 0, Leicester City 9
Southampton finds themselves on this list twice, as in 2019, they suffered a string of defeats against Leicester City. Leicester had two players register hat tricks, with Jamie Vardy and Ayoze Perez contributing six goals between them. The Foxes led 5-0 at halftime before adding four more goals in the second one half.
