Liverpool's recent 9-0 decimation of Bournemouth or Manchester United's legendary 8-2 demolition of Arsenal at Old Trafford might spring to mind as some of the most memorable scorelines that the Premier League has had to offer – but where do they stand when it comes to the highest-scoring Premier League games of all time?
GOAL rounds up the highest English top flight scorelines since 1992, as well as the biggest goal margins in the top-flight.
Highest Premier League scorelines
The highest-scoring Premier League game of all-time was the 11-goal thriller between Portsmouth and Reading in 2007, where Benjani scored a hat-trick.
It is the only 11-goal game that the Premier League has ever witnessed, but there are a number of 10-goal games, including Tottenham's 6-4 victory over Reading in 2007, in which Dimitar Berbatov netted four goals.
