ON THIS DAY MARCH 4

1995

A 43,804 Old Trafford crowd witnessed Manchester United thrash Ipswich Town 9-0 which is still the equal highest score in the Premier League. Andy Cole scored 5, Mark Hughes a couple with one each from Roy Keane and Paul Ince.

The record Manchester United set for the biggest Premier League win would not be equalled until Leicester City beat Southampton by the same scoreline, away from home on 25 October 2019. The following season, United would equal their biggest victory, also against Southampton, with a 9–0 win at Old Trafford on 2 February 2021, and the record was again matched in August 2022, when Liverpool beat AFC Bournemouth 9–0.
