Well, even though it is rare to see a shocking scoreline in the Premier League matches as opposed to Bundesliga matches, there are still notable ones that I will be listing as the biggest losses in the Premier League such as Manchester United losing 7 – 0 to Liverpool in the just concluded season.

2021 was one of the best years Ole Gunnar Solskjaer managed at Manchester United before the legendary United boss stepped down on his role as Manchester United manager following losses that the team faced.

4. Leicester City 9 – 0 Southampton (2019)
It saddens most fans including me that Leicester City has been relegated to the championship following a woeful season by the Foxes.
Well, I am pretty sure that they will return even as a better side. Leicester City came from Championship into the Premier League, and within that space, they successfully lifted the Premier League and Carabao Cup which seem as something impossible for a team coming from Championship.
Despite losing key players such as Riyad Mahrez, N’golo Kante, Harry Maguire, and others, Leicester City displayed their brilliance in the 2019/20 season against Southampton by thrashing the Saints 9 without getting a reply. Former Leicester defender Ben Chilwell opened the scoring and Ayoze Perez wrapped up the match with a hat-trick.
5. Tottenham Hotspur 9 – 1 Wigan (2009)
Tottenham Hotspur has always been a better EPL side although the team often gets mocked by fans for always ending most of their seasons without having a trophy to show to their fans.
In 2009/10, arguably, Tottenham was on fire. They finished fourth that season, qualifying for the UEFA Champions League campaign after they last did in 1962.
Still, in that season, Tottenham Hotspur went all against Wigan by scoring 9 goals with the help of Peter Crouch, Jermaine Defoe, Aaron Lennon, David Bentley, and Niko Kranjcar. Luckily, Wigan Athletic replied with a single goal which was not worth celebrating.

Before trying to be back to their best, Newcastle United in the late 90s was one of the teams that dominated the Premier League.

That season was one of the best seasons Chelsea had under Roman Abramovich. The Blues grabbed 103 points in that season which made them the most terrifying EPL side.
10. Middlesbrough 8 – 1 Manchester City (2008)
It might be surprising to see Manchester City on the list of Premier League teams with the heaviest defeats if you just started to watch EPL after 2008.
During the 2007/08 season, Middlesbrough scored goals against the Citizens. Alfonso Alves was the star of that match, scoring a hat-trick. Well, the show did not end with Middlesbrough scoring 8 goals, Manchester City scored a consolation goal though.
