5. Newcastle United 6-2 Everton (29th March, 2002)

Newcastle United's 6-2 victory over Everton on March 29, 2002 is one of the most memorable matches in the club's Premier League history. The Magpies were in scintillating form, and they blew Everton away with a devastating attacking display.

4. Newcastle United 6-1 Tottenham (23rd April, 2023)

A 6-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on April 23, 2023 was a stunning result. The Magpies started the game brightly, and they took the lead in the second minute through Murphy. Murphy latched onto a loose ball in the Spurs penalty area, and he fired past Hugo Lloris into the bottom corner, this was the start of a thrashing.

Tottenham conceded five goals in the first 21 minutes of the match, Newcastle never looked like a side that was going to dominate one of the best Premier League clubs but Eddie Howe's team handed an embarrassing loss to Tottenham. It was one of their biggest win in the Premier League since 1999.

On this memorable day, the players displayed remarkable skill and teamwork, delighting the fans at St James' Park with a variety of goals. Victories like this not only bring immense joy to the passionate Newcastle United fanbase but also showcase the potential of Newcastle to score goals.

Andy Carroll was a standout performer in this fixture, he scored a hat-trick in the match, and he was supported by goals from Kevin Nolan (two goals) and Joey Barton. Carroll was at the peak of his powers at the time, and he was simply unstoppable. He scored all three of his goals with different finishes, and he was a constant menace to the Aston Villa defence.

2. Newcastle United 8-0 Sheffield Wednesday (19th September, 1999)

An 8-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday on September 19, 1999, was the Magpies' biggest-ever win in the Premier League. It was also the first time that Newcastle had scored eight goals in a league match since 1930.

Alan Shearer, the club's all-time leading goal scorer, was the standout performer on that unforgettable day, he scored as many as five goals in this fixture, and his individual brilliance, combined with the team's overall performance, resulted in a resounding victory that is still celebrated by the Toon Army. It was a night when everything went right for the Magpies.

1. Sheffield United 0-8 Newcastle United (24th September, 2023)
