5 Biggest wins in Premier League history

#1 Man Utd 9-0 Ipswich Town (4 March 1995)

MAN UTD V IPSWICH

Though it might seem like a distant memory owing to their recent struggles, but Manchester United were once the most dominant force in the Premier League and won the first two editions of the league in 1993 and 1994.

The following season, they had to navigate most of the campaign without the services of the influential Eric Cantona who had been given a long-term ban for his infamous kung fu kick on a Crystal Palace fan.

Manchester United and Blackburn were engaged in a tight race for the league title and the Red Devils went into the game against Ipswich three points behind Rovers in second place, while their opponents were placed 21st (out of 24 teams), eight points from safety.

In front of just over 40,000 Manchester United faithful, the Red Devils took time to get going and scored just three in the first half. They, however, stepped up the pressure after the break and scored a further six in the second 45 minutes.

Andy Cole became the first player to score five goals in a single Premier League match, while the result also matched Manchester United's record margin of victory set 103 years earlier when they beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 10-1 on 15 October 1982.

Despite the result, they still finished in second place, just one point behind Blackburn Rovers while Ipswich were relegated having finished bottom of the table.
