This is a summary of the highest scoring games and biggest winning margins in the Premier League since its establishment in the 1992–93 season. The record score for the biggest win is 9–0, happening on two occasions. The first was Manchester United beating Ipswich Town at Old Trafford on 4 March 1995, and the second being Leicester City beating Southampton at St Mary's Stadium on 25 October 2019. The latter also stands as the largest away win in the history of the Premier League, and indeed of all time in the top tier of English football.
The only other team to have scored nine times in a match are Tottenham Hotspur, in their 9–1 victory over Wigan Athletic at White Hart Lane on 22 November 2009. This game boasts the record total number of goals scored in one half of Premier League football (nine), and by one team in one half of Premier League football (eight, by Tottenham).
The highest scoring game is Portsmouth's 7–4 win against Reading at Fratton Park on 29 September 2007.[1]
