Manchester United 7-0 Barnsley
Manchester United’s 7-0 drubbing of Barnsley in 1997 also features on the list. Once again Andy Cole popped up to score a first half hat trick to send Manchester United onto another one of their high scoring performances since the introduction of the Premier League. Ryan Giggs added another 2; Paul Scholes and Karel Poborsky were also on target.
Blackburn 7-0 Nottingham Forest
Once again Nottingham Forest were on the end of another Premier League thrashing. In November 1995 Blackburn ran riot and put 7 past Forest. Shearer got 3 and was joined on the score sheet by Lars Bohinen who netted twice and further goals from Mike Newell and Graeme Le Saux.
Newcastle 5-0 Manchester United
Our penultimate result of the day is Newcastle’s sublime performance against Manchester United in 1996. Prior to the game United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel had not conceded a Premier League goal in over 9 hours of football. It was only a matter of time before United’s defence would succumb to a goal, but know one thought the floodgates would open in such fashion. Special mention must go to Newcastle defender Phillipe Albert who scores a wonder goal by chipping Schmeichel from 25 yards.
