Manchester United 9-0 Southampton (February 2, 2021): Manchester United made their third, and most recent entry, to this list by putting nine past nine-man Southampton - the second such defeat for the Saints in as many seasons. Alexandre Jankewitz's second-minute red card on his Premier League debut set the tone before Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Marcus Rashford, Edinson Cavani and Jan Bednarek's own goal made it 4-0 before half-time. Anthony Martial came off the bench to score twice in the second half, while Scott McTominay, Bruno Fernandes and Daniel James also netted either side of Bednarek's late dismissal. PA

Newcastle United equalled their biggest Premier League win on Sunday, smashing Sheffield United 8-0 at Bramall Lane.

There were eight names on the scoresheet – Sean Longstaff, Dan Burn, Sven Botman, Callum Wilson, Anthony Gordon, Miguel Almiron, Bruno Guimaraes and Alexander Isak – a Premier League record – and matched the same scoreline the Magpies inflicted on Sheffield Wednesday in 1999 under Bobby Robson.

As impressive as Newcastle's victory was, it is not the biggest win in Premier League history.

Manchester United (twice) and Leicester City have both recorded 9-0 wins in the Premier League era. Southampton have been on the receiving end in two of those matches.
