SEVEN

In 2011, on October 23rd Manchester United lost to City 1-6 at Old Trafford. 

United had recently beaten Arsenal 8-2 in another Premier League match at "The Theatre of Dreams."

Today, I watched Hepworth United Men beat Jubilee Sports from Sheffield 7-0, a result that held a lot of importance, considering the "goings on" at the village club this week. Jubilee, to be fair, are "lowly" in the Sheffield and Hallamshire Premier League, but a result is a result. 

Indeed Hepworth needed a boost and so did their supporters.

Listening to Talksport, as one does, another 7-0 was reported; Chelsea beating a hapless Norwich 7-0.

But today, not so much fun in the Championship, where there were only 26 goals scored in 10 games.         Bit more exciting in League One and Two today.

Other 7-0 matches in the Premier League History: 

Blackburn Rovers v Nottingham Forest 18/11/95     7-0

Manchester United v Barnsley 25/10/97     7-0

Arsenal v Everton 11/5/05     7-0

Arsenal v Middlesbrough 14/1/06     7-0

Chelsea v Stoke 25/4/10     7-0

Manchester City v Norwich City 2/11/13     7-0

Crystal Palace v Liverpool 19/12/20     0-7

Wembley 23rd October 1963; a full house 100,000 saw England celebrate the centenary of the formation of the Football Association with a 2-1 (not 7-0) victory over a "Rest of the World Team", made up from the great Russian goalkeeper Lev Yashin, Alfredo di Stefano, Eusebio and Ferenc Puskas who were part of the World Squad.

Jimmy Greaves and Terry Paine were England goalscorers. Denis Law of Manchester United and Scotland (once of Huddersfield Town) replied for the "guests".

It was mid week game and televised...I remember watching it, on black and white tv.
