Celtic, Liverpool and Man Utd – Teams who scored nine goals in a top-flight game

Celtic became the second top-tier British club to dole out a 9-0 thrashing this weekend as they romped to victory at Dundee United.

Ange Postecoglou’s side made it five wins from five in spectacular fashion as Kyogo Furuhashi and Liel Abada both hit hat-tricks with Jota, Josip Juranovic and Carl Starfelt also getting in on the act.

Celtic’s cinch Premiership win came less than 24 hours after Liverpool hammered Bournemouth by the same scoreline to equal the Premier League’s record victory.

Here, the PA news agency looks at the six previous occasions when teams have scored nine goals across the two divisions.

Roberto Firmino scored two and made three, with a brace too for Luis Diaz. Harvey Elliott’s first Premier League goal, Fabio Carvalho, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and a Chris Mepham own goal completed the scoring.

Alexandre Jankewitz’s red card within 90 seconds of his first senior start left Saints with an uphill battle from the outset. Anthony Martial netted twice while Saints defender Roman Bednarek scored an own goal and was also sent off. Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Marcus Rashford, Edinson Cavani, Scott McTominay, Bruno Fernandes and Daniel James were the other scorers.

Southampton had Ryan Bertrand sent off for a studs-up challenge on Ayoze Perez in the build-up to the opening goal, setting the tone for the night. Ben Chilwell got that goal in the 10th minute and Perez went on to complete a hat-trick. Jamie Vardy also got a treble, wrapping it up with a spot-kick in added time. Youri Tielemans and James Maddison also found the target.

Paul Hartley’s red card put the visitors on the back foot as it was the turn of Anthony Stokes and Gary Hooper to argue over the match ball with the pair both scoring
