#4 Biggest Defeat: Ipswich Town (9-0 vs Manchester United)
Trending
This sensational match was played out 22-years-ago in March and remains the most prolific thrashing in the division’s history. Manchester United went into the game knowing an impressive victory would voice their intentions to lift the title at the end of the campaign, whilst Ipswich Town were in the midst of a relegation scrap, one they’d eventually lose, as they finished bottom (22nd) that season, twenty-one points from safety.
Andy Cole would dominate the tie, scoring five goals, and the future fortunes of both clubs following the tie would be very different, with United going on to become the most decorated side in England and Ipswich struggling to navigate a way out of England’s second tier following their second Premier League relegation in 2002.
