Only one team has gone 5-0 down quicker than Tottenham in the Premier League. We rank some early shellackings.
A magnificent seven Premier League teams have managed to find themselves 5-0 down before half-time, and only one of them faster than Tottenham’s brave comedy heroes succeeded in so doing at St James’ Park on Sunday afternoon.
Fun fact: this was game one of Arsenal’s record-breaking 49-game unbeaten streak. It’s literally a superhero origin story. Starring Jermaine Pennant.Tremendously on brand that Southampton keep popping up here, and we haven’t even got to a 9-0 yet. The sheer power of the Southampton collapse even allowing Everton to make an appearance here despite the fact that even when they’ve been quite good you’d never really have had them down as a ‘race into a 5-0 lead’ kind of team.
Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood still had the last laugh, though, as he absolutely always does and must: this stands as surely the single funniest ever result to secure a club’s Premier League survival, Villa grateful to Tactics Tim’s former club Spurs for beating Hull and thus securing the Villans’ Premier League status.
