Goal has all the information about the games with the highest scorelines in Premier League history, as well as the largest winning margins
Manchester City’s 8-0 hammering of Watford in 2019 or Manchester United’s 8-2 demolition of Arsenal at Old Trafford might spring to mind as some of the most memorable scorelines that the Premier League has had to offer – but they are far from the highest-scoring games of all time.
Goal has rounded up the highest Premier League scorelines since the inception of the competition in 1992, as well as the biggest margins in the top-flight.
Highest Premier League scorelines
The highest-scoring Premier League game of all-time was the 11-goal thriller between Portsmouth and Reading in 2007, where Benjani scored a hat-trick.
It is the only 11-goal game that the Premier League has ever witnessed, with Dimitar Berbatov netting four goals in Tottenham’s 6-4 victory over Reading that amounted to 10 goals.
United are holders of the largest winning margin away from home through with 8-1 defeat of Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in 1999.
They also equalled a Premier League record for the largest margin of victory in the competition’s history with their 9-0 destruction of Southampton in January 2021.
