Tottenham Hotspur's 9-1 rout of Wigan Athletic here on Sunday was one of the most lopsided Premier League victories.
The greatest winning margins in the EPL are as follows:
March 1995: Manchester United 9 Ipswich Town 0
England striker Andy Cole scored five goals and current
Manchester City manager Mark Hughes two, with Paul Ince and Roy
Keane also netting against an Ipswich side who would finish bottom
of the table that season.
November 2009: Tottenham Hotspur 9 Wigan Athletic 1
England striker Jermain Defoe scored five goals, all in the
second half - including a hat-trick in seven minutes - as Spurs ran
riot at White Hart Lane.
Peter Crouch and Aaron Lennon were also on target before Chris
Kirkland's own-goal and Niko Kranjcar's last minute effort rounded
off victory.
Wigan did manage a goal through Austria's Paul Scharner.
September 1999: Newcastle 8 Sheffield Wednesday 0 - September
1999
Newcastle great Alan Shearer scored five times, including two
penalties, as relegation-bound on Wednesday were walloped at St James'
Park. Aaron Hughes opened the scoring while Kieron Dyer and Gary
Speed both scored in the second half.
February 1999: Nottingham Forest 1 Manchester United 8
Supersub Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came off the bench to score four
goals in the last 10 minutes against Forest, who were on their way
to being relegated. Strikers Cole and Dwight Yorke both grabbed two
goals apiece, with Forest's Alan Rogers briefly drawing the hosts
level.
May 2005: Arsenal 7 Everton 0
Dutch maestro Dennis Bergkamp scored one and helped create three
others as Everton were swept aside. Robert Pires (2), Robin van
Persie, Patrick Vieira, Mathieu Flamini and Edu (penalty) were the
Gunners' other goalscorers.
November 1995: Blackburn 7 Nottingham Forest 0
Shearer's hat-trick was the centrepiece of this win with Lars
Bohinen (two), Mike Newell and Graeme le Saux piling on the agony
for Forest.
October 1997: Manchester United 7 Barnsley 0
Cole's first half hat-trick helped United go 4-0 up in what was
Barnsley's one and only Premiership season to date. Ryan Giggs (2),
Paul Scholes and Karel Poborsky also netted.
January 2006: Arsenal 7 Middlesbrough 0 - January 2006
Thierry Henry grabbed a hat-trick in a match where Philippe
Senderos, Robert Pires, Gilberto Silva and Alexander Hleb found the
back of the net as well.
