The highest scoring Premier League game ever saw an incredible 11 goals, as Portsmouth defeated Reading 7-4 in September 2007. While this remains the record for total goals in a single match, the biggest Premier League win belongs to three different clubs - Liverpool, Manchester United, and Leicester City - who have all achieved remarkable 9-0 victories.
In fact, since 1992, the Premier League has witnessed 30 matches featuring nine or more goals, creating some of football's most memorable moments. Notable among these are Manchester United's 8-2 demolition of Arsenal in 2011 and Tottenham's 9-1 thrashing of Wigan in 2009. The most recent addition to these high-scoring encounters came in August 2022, when Liverpool hammered Bournemouth 9-0 at Anfield.
From record-breaking victories to dramatic comebacks, here are the 15 highest-scoring matches that have defined Premier League history.
On September 29, 2007, Fratton Park witnessed an extraordinary spectacle as Portsmouth secured a remarkable 7-4 victory against Reading. The match, played before 20,102 spectators, established itself as the highest-scoring fixture in Premier League history.
Portsmouth dominated the early proceedings, taking the lead through Benjani's acrobatic finish after just six minutes. Subsequently, the Zimbabwean striker doubled the advantage with a brilliant individual effort in the 37th minute. Nevertheless, Reading found a lifeline through Stephen Hunt's header just before halftime.
The second half began dramatically as Dave Kitson capitalized on David James's error to level the score at 2-2. However, Hermann Hreidarsson restored Portsmouth's lead with a well-timed header. Reading missed a crucial opportunity to equalize again after James saved Nicky Shorey's penalty.
The match statistics revealed Portsmouth's tactical superiority, maintaining 65% possession and registering 17 shots on target compared to Reading's 7. The final twenty minutes witnessed an extraordinary goal rush, with six goals scored, including two in injury time.
Benjani emerged as the standout performer, completing his hat-trick in the 70th minute. The attacking display featured nine different scorers, including unfortunate own goals from both sides - Ingimarsson for Portsmouth and Campbell for Reading.
Portsmouth's attacking prowess manifested through additional goals from Kranjcar and Muntari, alongside an Ingimarsson own goal. Reading's resilience showed through goals from Hunt, Kitson, Long, and a Campbell own goal.
Portsmouth coach Joe Jordan praised the team's first-half performance as their "best 45 minutes of the season". Reading manager Steve Coppell acknowledged the exceptional nature of the match, noting their achievement of scoring four away goals despite the defeat.
The match's significance extended beyond the immediate result. Portsmouth concluded the season in eighth position, additionally securing the FA Cup trophy against Cardiff. Conversely, Reading's campaign ended in relegation to the Championship, finishing 18th with a goal difference three goals inferior to Fulham.
August 28, 2011, marked one of the darkest days in Arsenal's history as Manchester United inflicted a crushing 8-2 defeat at Old Trafford, Arsenal's heaviest league defeat in 84 years.
Arsenal entered the match with significant challenges, missing eight senior players through injuries and suspensions. Furthermore, the recent departures of key players Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri had left noticeable gaps in the squad. Although United also faced absences, with eight players unavailable, their squad depth proved superior.
The match's trajectory shifted dramatically after Robin van Persie's missed penalty at 1-0. Danny Welbeck opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, followed by Ashley Young's spectacular curler in the 28th minute. Wayne Rooney then demonstrated his prowess with three goals, ultimately completing his 150th goal for United.
Arsenal's defensive strategy crumbled as they maintained a high defensive line despite lacking pressure on United's midfield. The inexperienced backline, featuring Carl Jenkinson's Premier League debut, struggled to contain United's attacking prowess. The tactical naivety became evident as United repeatedly exploited the spaces behind Arsenal's defense, leading to an unprecedented goal tally.
The humiliation prompted immediate action from Arsenal, who signed five players within the following three days: Mikel Arteta, Per Mertesacker, Andre Santos, Yossi Benayoun, and Park Chu-young. Notably, this defeat marked a significant shift in Wenger's philosophy, as he never again fielded such a young side.
The match's aftermath extended beyond immediate personnel changes. For United, although they dominated this encounter, the season ended without silverware, finishing second to Manchester City on goal difference. Arsenal, meanwhile, managed to secure third place, though the scars of this defeat would influence their transfer strategy and youth development approach for years to come.
White Hart Lane witnessed an extraordinary display of attacking prowess on November 22, 2009, as Tottenham Hotspur secured their biggest Premier League victory, demolishing Wigan Athletic 9-1.
Peter Crouch's ninth-minute header initially gave Spurs a slender 1-0 lead at halftime. The match statistics revealed Tottenham's dominance, with Aaron Lennon providing three assists alongside his own goal. Niko Kranjcar demonstrated sublime midfield skill, contributing significantly to the team's attacking display.
Defoe's remarkable achievement made him only the third player in Premier League history to score five goals in a match, joining Alan Shearer and Andy Cole in this elite group. Notably, he became the first player to score five goals in a single half of a Premier League game. His clinical finishing required just nine touches to complete this extraordinary feat.
The second half witnessed an unprecedented scoring spree, with eight goals finding the net. Defoe's first three strikes came within a seven-minute burst between the 51st and 58th minutes, marking the second-fastest hat-trick in Premier League history. Aaron Lennon added the fifth goal, whereas David Bentley's free-kick and Kranjcar's stoppage-time strike completed the rout.
Wigan's defensive strategy proved catastrophically naive, particularly evident in Erik Edman's struggles against Lennon's trickery. The Latics' resistance completely evaporated after conceding the third goal, with their fluorescent orange shirts offering little distraction from their defensive frailties. Chris Kirkland, regardless of conceding nine goals, made several world-class saves throughout the match.
The result propelled Tottenham to fourth place in the table, ultimately proving crucial in their successful quest for Champions League qualification. For Wigan, this defeat marked their heaviest loss in their 31-year existence as a league club.
Old Trafford witnessed another record-equaling Premier League scoreline on February 2, 2021, as Manchester United demolished Southampton in a nine-goal thriller that matched their own 1995 record against Ipswich Town.
The match started with an unprecedented twist as Southampton's Alex Jankewitz, making his first Premier League start, received a straight red card after just 79 seconds for a dangerous challenge on Scott McTominay. This early dismissal set the stage for what would become Southampton's second 9-0 defeat in consecutive seasons.
The numerical advantage proved decisive as United capitalized immediately. Aaron Wan-Bissaka opened the scoring after 18 minutes, followed by Marcus Rashford's smart finish. An own goal from Jan Bednarek and Edinson Cavani's header completed a devastating first-half display. The situation worsened for Southampton as Bednarek received a second red card late in the game, ultimately overturned on appeal.
Seven different United players found the net, becoming only the second team in Premier League history to achieve this feat after Chelsea against Aston Villa in December 2012. Anthony Martial ended his eight-match goal drought with a brace, alongside goals from Scott McTominay, Bruno Fernandes, and Daniel James. Luke Shaw's rejuvenated form shone through with multiple assists before being substituted at halftime.
The victory propelled United to the top of the Premier League scoring charts with 46 goals. Fernandes continued his remarkable impact, reaching 36 goal involvements since his arrival - the highest in the league during that period. United accomplished scoring four first-half goals twice in a Premier League season for the first time since 1997-98. The match saw United complete 266 successful passes in the final third, establishing a new Premier League record for the 2020-21 season.
Anfield erupted in celebration as Liverpool equaled the biggest victory in Premier League history, demolishing Bournemouth 9-0 on August 27, 2022.
Within the opening five minutes, Luis Diaz's powerful header and Harvey Elliott's sublime strike from outside the box established Liverpool's control. Trent Alexander-Arnold's thunderous long-range effort into the top corner preceded Roberto Firmino's acrobatic conversion from inside the six-yard box. Virgil van Dijk's commanding header from a corner completed an extraordinary first-half performance.
Jurgen Klopp's tactical adjustments proved decisive, specifically instructing Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah to increase their presence in the box. The foundation of Liverpool's success stemmed from their midfield dominance, with Firmino and Diaz dropping deep to create numerical advantages. Alexander-Arnold's strategic positioning, alternating between wide areas and central midfield, further destabilized Bournemouth's defensive structure.
The second half commenced with Chris Mepham's own goal, followed by Firmino's second strike, marking his 100th goal for the club. Fabio Carvalho volleyed in his first Liverpool goal, ultimately leading to Diaz completing the scoring with a header in the 85th minute. Liverpool's attacking prowess manifested through 19 shots, with 12 finding the target.
The devastating defeat proved terminal for Scott Parker's tenure at Bournemouth. Describing it as the "most painful day" of his career, Parker acknowledged the gulf in quality between the sides. His post-match comments about being "ill-equipped" at Premier League level ultimately led to his dismissal three days later, with the club's ownership citing disagreements over long-term strategy. The result marked Bournemouth's worst-ever top-flight defeat, prompting immediate questions about their Premier League survival prospects.
The Etihad Stadium witnessed the highest-scoring Manchester derby in history on October 2, 2022, as Manchester City overwhelmed Manchester United in a nine-goal spectacle.
Erling Haaland and Phil Foden etched their names into Premier League history, becoming only the third pair of teammates to score hat-tricks in the same match. Haaland's clinical finishing secured his third consecutive home Premier League hat-trick, establishing him as the first player to achieve this remarkable feat. Foden, at 22 years and 127 days, surpassed Lionel Messi to become the youngest player to reach 50 goals under Pep Guardiola.
City dominated from kickoff, with Kevin De Bruyne orchestrating the midfield masterfully. The Belgian's eight assists positioned him for a potential record-breaking season. Jack Grealish delivered one of his finest performances in a City shirt, consistently troubling United's defense. The hosts' tactical superiority manifested through their possession-based approach, with City players demonstrating exceptional combination play throughout the match.
The electric atmosphere at the Etihad intensified as City established a commanding 4-0 lead by halftime. United's traveling supporters witnessed their team's defensive collapse, reminiscent of their 4-0 defeat at Brentford earlier that season. The match atmosphere reflected the gulf between the two Manchester giants, with City's supporters reveling in their team's attacking prowess.
The victory positioned City within a point of Premier League leaders Arsenal. United's defeat exposed significant defensive vulnerabilities, prompting manager Erik ten Hag to acknowledge his team's lack of belief. The result underscored City's title credentials, ultimately contributing to their successful Premier League campaign. For United, the defeat served as a sobering reminder of the substantial gap between themselves and their cross-city rivals.
The Hawthorns staged an unforgettable finale to Sir Alex Ferguson's illustrious managerial career on May 19, 2013, as Manchester United and West Bromwich Albion produced the Premier League's first-ever 5-5 draw.
In his 1,500th game as United's manager, Ferguson witnessed his team establish a commanding 3-0 lead within 30 minutes through goals from Shinji Kagawa, an Jonas Olsson own goal, and Alexander Buttner. James Morrison pulled one back for West Brom before halftime, setting the stage for an extraordinary second period.
The introduction of Romelu Lukaku at halftime transformed the match entirely. The Belgian striker scored within five minutes of his arrival, yet United responded emphatically through Robin van Persie and Javier Hernandez to lead 5-2. Undeterred, West Brom mounted an astonishing comeback as Lukaku completed his hat-trick, becoming only the third player in Premier League history to score three goals against United.
United's midfield diamond, anchored by Michael Carrick, initially controlled proceedings effectively. Antonio Valencia and Alexander Buttner provided width from full-back positions, creating numerous attacking opportunities. Nevertheless, West Brom's tactical adjustment, primarily through Lukaku's introduction, exposed United's defensive vulnerabilities.
This match marked the conclusion of Ferguson's 26-year tenure at United, during which he secured 38 trophies. Rather than unleashing his trademark "hairdryer" treatment post-match, Ferguson maintained a celebratory mood, acknowledging the supporters with a final bow before the Smethwick End. The result denied United a Premier League record 29th win of the season. Paul Scholes, making his 720th and final appearance, received a yellow card for a characteristic mistimed tackle, providing a fitting footnote to an extraordinary career.
Emirates Stadium erupted with chants of "sign him up" as Theo Walcott delivered a masterclass performance, leading Arsenal to a thrilling 7-3 victory against Newcastle United in December 2012.
Arsenal seized control early through Walcott's clinical finish in the 20th minute, reminiscent of Thierry Henry's signature style. The match intensity escalated after Demba Ba's deflected free-kick equalized before halftime. Subsequently, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain restored Arsenal's lead, yet Newcastle demonstrated resilience by equalizing through Marveaux.
Walcott's performance showcased his versatility as a central striker, scoring a perfect hat-trick alongside creating two assists for Olivier Giroud. His second goal demonstrated exceptional skill as he executed a 360-degree turn before firing into the roof of the net. The crowning moment arrived in injury time when Walcott danced past four defenders before chipping Tim Krul to complete his treble.
Arsène Wenger's decision to deploy Walcott centrally proved instrumental, with the forward receiving guidance from club legend Thierry Henry. Lukas Podolski's creative influence manifested through precise assists, establishing effective partnerships with both Walcott and Kieran Gibbs. The tactical fluidity allowed Arsenal to maintain offensive pressure, ultimately registering 14 shots on target.
The Emirates faithful responded enthusiastically to Walcott's contract situation, with widespread support for extending his stay at the club. Social media platforms buzzed with comparisons to Henry, especially regarding Walcott's first goal. The performance marked a significant moment in Arsenal's season, propelling them to fifth position in the Premier League table. Ultimately, this display influenced Walcott's contract negotiations, leading to a new deal in January 2013.
Stamford Bridge erupted in jubilation as Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea clinched their fourth Premier League title with a devastating 8-0 victory over Wigan Athletic.
Nicolas Anelka ignited the celebration after just six minutes, drilling a finish past Mike Pollitt. Frank Lampard doubled the advantage from the penalty spot after Gary Caldwell's dismissal for fouling him. The Blues' attacking prowess intensified after the break, with Salomon Kalou and Anelka extending the lead through well-crafted goals.
Didier Drogba's second-half hat-trick secured him the Golden Boot with 29 league goals. His first came through a precise header from Lampard's cross, marking Chelsea's historic 100th league goal of the season. The Ivorian striker added two more, including a penalty, before Ashley Cole completed the rout in the final minute.
Ancelotti's attacking philosophy transformed Chelsea's style, making them the first top-flight team to score 100 goals since Tottenham in 1963. The Blues' possession-based approach yielded 52.9% ball control, while their attacking efficiency manifested through 19 shot attempts, with 10 finding the target.
The victory marked Chelsea's third crown in six years, ending Manchester United's three-season reign as champions. The Blues finished with 103 league goals, surpassing Manchester United's previous record of 97 from the 1999/2000 season. This triumph positioned Ancelotti for a potential domestic double, with an FA Cup final against Portsmouth looming. The performance underscored Chelsea's attacking evolution under Ancelotti, having scored seven or more goals at home four times that season.
In a remarkable display of attacking football at White Hart Lane, Dimitar Berbatov's masterclass propelled Tottenham to a thrilling 6-4 victory over Reading in December 2007.
The encounter began with Berbatov's clinical finish in the seventh minute, capitalizing on Steed Malbranque's precise pass to Robbie Keane. Reading equalized through Kalifa Cissé's powerful volley after Paul Robinson's unconvincing punch from a free-kick. The match intensified after halftime as Reading seized the lead through Ivar Ingimarsson's header from Nicky Shorey's corner.
The Bulgarian striker demonstrated exceptional finishing prowess, ultimately scoring four goals. His second goal emerged from intercepting Graeme Murty's poor clearance. A sublime volley completed his hat-trick, alongside Pascal Chimbonda's assist. His fourth goal, coming from Younes Kaboul's long ball, showcased his predatory instincts.
Both teams exhibited defensive vulnerabilities throughout the match. Tottenham's struggles with set-pieces became evident as Reading capitalized on corners and free-kicks. Tom Huddlestone's failure to track Ingimarsson's movement led to Reading's second goal. The match witnessed controversial moments, primarily concerning Jermain Defoe's encroachment during Robbie Keane's penalty, resulting in Reading's assistant manager Kevin Dillon's dismissal.
The match statistics underscored Tottenham's attacking dominance, yet their defensive frailties remained a concern for manager Juande Ramos. Reading's resilience manifested through Dave Kitson's clinical finishing, scoring twice against his boyhood club. Steed Malbranque's equalizer at 4-4 preceded Defoe's controversial goal from Keane's saved penalty. The match concluded with Berbatov's fourth strike, sealing an unforgettable Premier League classic.
Kevin De Bruyne orchestrated a masterful display at the Etihad Stadium as Manchester City overwhelmed Stoke City in a commanding 7-2 victory.
Pep Guardiola's tactical brilliance manifested through City's innovative use of two natural number 10s in a three-man midfield, with De Bruyne and David Silva operating ahead of Fernandinho. The full-backs demonstrated exceptional versatility, alternating between wide positions and tucking infield to create additional passing angles. This positional fluidity consistently drew Stoke's midfielders out of position, generating spaces for City's attacking talents.
De Bruyne marked his 100th City appearance with an extraordinary performance, providing four assists. His sublime reverse pass for the second goal completely deceived Stoke's defense. Jesus secured a brace, alongside goals from Sterling, David Silva, Fernandinho, Sané, and Bernardo Silva. The team's collective brilliance reflected in the player ratings, with De Bruyne earning an exceptional 9.7 rating, Jesus scoring 8.9, and David Silva achieving 8.6.
The match showcased City's attacking prowess through three distinct phases. First came a blistering 10-minute spell yielding three goals, beginning with Jesus's finish from Walker's cutback. Sterling doubled the advantage immediately afterward, capitalizing on De Bruyne's exquisite pass. David Silva added the third, completing a sequence of rapid one-touch passes. After Stoke briefly reduced the deficit to 3-2, City unleashed another devastating burst of three quick goals. Fernandinho's long-range piledriver into the top corner preceded Sané's clinical finish from De Bruyne's magnificent diagonal pass. Bernardo Silva ultimately completed the scoring, converting Sterling's assist in the 79th minute.
The City Ground witnessed a remarkable display of super-sub prowess on February 6, 1999, as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer etched his name into Premier League history with an extraordinary four-goal performance in Manchester United's 8-1 triumph over Nottingham Forest.
Upon entering the field in the 72nd minute, Solskjaer received straightforward instructions from first-team coach Jimmy Ryan to "keep the ball". Instead, the Norwegian striker unleashed an unprecedented scoring spree, netting four goals in just 12 minutes. His first strike came from a Gary Neville cross, side-footing home from two yards. The second goal showcased his composure as he rounded goalkeeper Dave Beasant after his initial chip was saved. A right-footed volley completed his hat-trick, ultimately followed by an opportunistic fourth goal from Paul Scholes' miscued shot.
The match began with Dwight Yorke's early strike in the second minute. Alan Rogers briefly equalized for Forest, yet Andy Cole restored United's advantage within minutes. Poor defending allowed Cole and Yorke to extend the lead to 4-1 before Solskjaer's introduction. United's attacking prowess manifested through precise passing combinations, primarily orchestrated by David Beckham and Paul Scholes.
This victory established itself as the largest away win in Premier League history until Leicester City's 9-0 triumph against Southampton 20 years later. The result proved crucial in United's treble-winning campaign, as they secured the Premier League title with 79 points. Forest's defensive collapse prompted immediate consequences, with the team conducting extensive running drills the following day. Craig Armstrong, Forest's center-back, described the defeat as "embarrassing," acknowledging how the high defensive line strategy at halftime backfired catastrophically. The match underscored Solskjaer's exceptional ability to analyze games from the bench, earning him the "super-sub" moniker that defined his career.
November 13, 2004, marked a historic day in Premier League history as White Hart Lane hosted one of the most thrilling North London derbies, resulting in Arsenal's remarkable 5-4 victory over Tottenham.

The electric atmosphere intensified after Noureddine Naybet's expertly executed left-foot volley gave Spurs the lead in the 36th minute.

Moreover, the defensive intensity manifested through three yellow cards for Tottenham, while Arsenal maintained disciplinary control throughout.
This encounter remains the highest-scoring game in North London derby history, exemplifying the fierce rivalry between these north London neighbors. The early matches between these teams were noted for their bitterness, with a particularly vicious match in September 1922 leading to both clubs being censured by the Football Association.
At the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City delivered a statement performance against Watford on September 21, 2019, securing their biggest Premier League victory with an emphatic 8-0 triumph.

Bernardo Silva secured his first Premier League hat-trick, alongside contributions from David Silva, Aguero, Mahrez, Otamendi, and De Bruyne.
Pep Guardiola's tactical approach proved devastating, primarily through De Bruyne's orchestration from midfield. The Belgian's positioning consistently drew Abdoulaye Doucouré away from central areas, creating spaces for attacking movements. City's fluid rotations and off-ball movements systematically dismantled Watford's defensive structure. The hosts maintained their intensity after halftime, utilizing diagonal switches of play and strategic positioning of full-backs to maintain offensive pressure. De Bruyne's thunderous drive into the top corner in the 85th minute completed City's masterclass.
St James' Park witnessed a historic Premier League encounter on September 19, 1999, as Bobby Robson's first home match as Newcastle manager culminated in an extraordinary 8-0 triumph over Sheffield Wednesday.

His influence manifested through an assist for Shearer's hat-trick goal alongside scoring himself immediately after halftime. Gary Speed's powerful header from Solano's corner in the 78th minute underscored Newcastle's aerial superiority.
This victory marked Newcastle's first league win since April and their first home triumph since February. The result positioned itself as the outright second-biggest Premier League win at that time. Robson's tactical adjustments proved transformative, with the manager's understanding of personnel evident as "he got everybody playing with a smile on their face". Shearer's five-goal performance established him as only the second Premier League player to achieve this feat. The match represented a turning point in Newcastle's season, ultimately contributing to their successful battle against relegation.
Premier League history stands decorated with these extraordinary high-scoring encounters, each telling its unique story of attacking brilliance and defensive collapse. Manchester United, Liverpool, and Leicester City share the record for the biggest Premier League victory with their respective 9-0 triumphs, while Portsmouth's 7-4 win against Reading remains unmatched for total goals in a single match.
These games certainly shaped careers and legacies. Jermain Defoe's five-goal masterclass against Wigan, Dimitar Berbatov's four-strike performance versus Reading, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's super-sub heroics against Nottingham Forest represent individual excellence at its peak.
