Comments:

League position: 3rd This equalled Chelsea's biggest-ever league win. They also beat Wigan Athletic by a 8-0 margin in the Premier League on 9 May 2010. They have only scored more than eight goals in a league game on 1 September 1906 - a 9-2 trouncing of Glossop North End in the Second Division.

Comments:

League position: 16th This became Aston Villa's heaviest-ever league defeat. They had suffered 0-7 league losses on five previous occasions: v Blackburn Rovers (19 October 1899) v Everton (4 January 1890) v West Bromwich Albion (19 October 1935) v Manchester United (8 March 1950 v Manchester United (24 October 1964) Their previous heaviest defeat in the Premier League was the 1-7 drubbing at Chelsea on 27 March 2010. Villa had conceded eight goals in a senior game only once before. They were beaten 1-8 by Blackburn Rovers in a FA Cup tie on 16 February 1889.
