The Old Trafford thrashing to Tottenham was the Red Devils' joint heaviest Premier League defeat.

Manchester United crashed to an embarrassing 6-1 home defeat to Tottenham as the gloom enveloping Old Trafford deepened further.

It was United's joint heaviest Premier League defeat and former Red Devils' captain Gary Neville described the performance as "absolutely pathetic".

Here, the PA news agency charts seven other heavy losses United have suffered in the Premier League.

The first time United had leaked six goals at Old Trafford since 1930, this was their heaviest home defeat for 56 years. Mario Balotelli (2), Edin Dzeko (2), Sergio Aguero and David Silva were on target as City kick-started their title drive – with Darren Fletcher's 81st-minute reply all the hosts could muster.

Philippe Albert's stunning lob over Peter Schmeichel capped a thumping win as Kevin Keegan's men gained some revenge having lost the title to United the previous season. Darren Peacock, David Ginola, Les Ferdinand and Alan Shearer had already scored by then.

Chelsea 5 Manchester United 0, October 3, 1999

Chelsea ended United's 29-game unbeaten run in style. Gus Poyet was on the scoresheet twice including a strike after just 27 seconds, Chris Sutton made it 2-0 and Jody Morris rounded off the scoring – after a Henning Berg own goal and Nicky Butt red card on a dismal afternoon for United.

Just a week after losing 5-0 to Newcastle, United were sunk 6-3 on the south coast. Egil Ostenstad fired a hat-trick, Eyal Berkovic scored twice and Matt Le Tissier chipped Schmeichel. To add to United's woes, Roy Keane was sent off.

Fernando Torres ran riot, with Steven Gerrard, Fabio Aurelio and Andrea Dossena also on target. Despite this home humbling, with Nemanja Vidic dismissed 14 minutes from time, United still progressed to take the title.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had a humbling afternoon at Goodison Park as Everton well and truly ended his honeymoon period. Everton were 2-0 ahead at the break through Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson and Lucas Digne and Theo Walcott doubled the lead.
