Newcastle's biggest league win of all time remains a 13-0 home victory over Newport County in October 1946.

Meanwhile, the record for the biggest win in EPL history is still jointly held by Leicester, Manchester United and Liverpool.

Leicester won 9-0 away at Southampton in 2019. Manchester United then equaled that record by thrashing Southampton 9-0 at Old Trafford in 2021, before Liverpool beat Bournemouth by the same score at Anfield in August last year.
