Southampton 0-9 Leicester: Three other sides to score nine in the Premier League

Leicester rewrote the record books with their 9-0 victory at Southampton.

Brendan Rodgers’ men set a new mark for the biggest top-flight away win in English football and also equalled the record margin for any Premier League success, matching Manchester United’s Old Trafford drubbing of Ipswich in 1995.

Here, the PA news agency looks at the three occasions when teams have scored nine goals in a Premier League game.
