Tottenham were hammered at St James's Park on Sunday by Newcastle, but is it the most embarrassing defeat in Premier League history?
Newcastle's clash with Tottenham was billed as a battle for top-four places, with just three points separating the teams in the Premier League table ahead of kick-off.
However, it turned into a mauling as a rampant Newcastle struck five times inside the opening 21 minutes, becoming the second-fastest team to register a 5-0 lead in Premier League history after Manchester City
Yet Tottenham are not the first team to be humiliated in the English top flight, and they certainly will not be the last.
Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea have all served up some absolute shockers in recent seasons, so GOAL takes a look at the most embarrassing results in the Premier League era…

Manchester City unravelled quite spectacularly at the Riverside in a game which handed Middlesbrough their biggest top-flight win in 58 years.
Richard Dunne was the culprit early on for City. The defender was sent off for a foul on Tuncay that saw Middlesbrough awarded a penalty, and Stewart Downing made no mistake from the spot.
Afonso Alves, who went on to score a hat-trick, then made it 2-0 before half-time.
If the first half was poor by City then the second was simply disastrous. Middlesbrough simply blitzed the visitors with six goals in 32 second-half minutes to run away with the win.
Downing scored again, Fabio Rochemback netted a free-kick, Adam Johnson's deflected strike beat goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson, while there was also a goal from Jeremie Aliadiere.
City had gone into the game hoping to qualify for Europe with a win. Instead, it proved to be Sven Goran Eriksson's final game in charge.

Steven Gerrard's final game for Liverpool ended up being an absolute nightmare as the Reds were thrashed by Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium in 2015.
The midfielder did manage to score on his 710th and final appearance for Liverpool, but it was only a consolation as Liverpool were completely outplayed by the Potters.
Three goals in eight minutes midway through the first-half did the damage, as a brace from Mame Biram Diouf and another from Jonathan Walters put Stoke in complete charge.
Charlie Adam scored against his former side to make it 4-0, before Steven Nzonzi piled on more misery with an excellent effort from range.
Another former Red, Peter Crouch, also got in on the act with a header late on against a shambolic Liverpool side.
It was supposed to be a day to remember for Gerrard, but by the final whistle the club legend could hardly wait to get off the pitch.

Maurizio Sarri's men served up a hapless showing at the Etihad Stadium, as a Sergio Aguero-inspired Manchester City ran riot in 2019.
City scored four times in the opening 25 minutes to run away with the game and condemn the Blues to a humiliating defeat.
Chelsea were caught napping for the opener as Raheem Sterling converted from a Kevin De Bruyne free-kick.
Aguero then curled a brilliant effort past Kepa Arrizabalaga and added a second after Ross Barkley managed to unintentionally head the ball straight into the striker's path.
Ilkay Gundogan's low shot make it 4-0, before Cesar Azpilicueta gave away a penalty, allowing Aguero to bag his 15th hat-trick for Manchester City.
Chelsea's defence was an utter mess throughout the 90 minutes and conceded again late on when Sterling finished from close range.

Arsene Wenger had been hoping to celebrate his 1,000th game in charge of Arsenal, but instead saw his players serve up a real stinker at Stamford Bridge.
Samuel Eto'o and then Andre Schurrle had the Blues 2-0 up after just seven minutes, as Arsenal were caught on the break and unable to respond.
Things then went from bad to worse when Kieran Gibbs was sent off in a case of mistaken identity.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had tipped an effort from Eden Hazard round the post with his hand, butreferee Andre Marriner showed the red to Gibbs instead.
Chelsea then piled on more misery as they hit Arsenal for six for the first time ever. Oscar netted a brace and Mohamed Salah also found the back of the net as Wenger's special day was well and truly ruined.
