With 133 years of history and over 6,000 games played, Liverpool Football Club have amassed several impressive scorelines, but only three games since 2000 are among their biggest.
Liverpool are the most successful club in England and have a long list of famous victories to their name domestically and on the European stage.
Their record scoreline, however, has stood since 1974 and will take something special to eclipse it as Bob Paisley‘s side piled on 11 unanswered goals.
Jurgen Klopp‘s side came close in 2022 when they won 9-0 against Bournemouth at Anfield, which remains the joint-biggest victory in Premier League history.
To that end, let’s take a look at Liverpool’s 14 biggest wins of all time (if you’re wondering why 14, the next best result on this list was achieved 14 different times!):
Liverpool’s biggest-ever wins

- Liverpool 10-0 Fulham – September 1986
- Liverpool 10-1 Rotherham – February 1896
- Liverpool 10-1 Oulun Palloseura – October 1980
- Liverpool 9-0 Newtown– October 1892

- Liverpool 8-0 Burnley – December 1928
- Liverpool 8-0 TSV 1860 Munich – November 1967

- Stoke 0-8 Liverpool – November 2000
Liverpool’s biggest-ever victory was in a European Cup Winners’ Cup clash against Norwegian outfit Stromsgodset IF in 1974, with nine different goalscorers among the 11 goals.
Alec Lindsay, Phil Boersma, Phil Thompson, Steve Heighway, Peter Cormack, Emlyn Hughes, Tommy Smith, Ian Callaghan and Ray Kennedy all scored for the biggest outright win that has proved hard to beat!
Liverpool have twice won by a 10-0 scoreline, against Dundalk in 1969 and Fulham in 1986, and also have two 10-1 wins, against Rotherham in 1896 and Oulun Palloseura in 1980.
The most recent addition to the list was the 9-0 win against Bournemouth in 2022, with Klopp’s men becoming the second team to win by the scoreline, equalling the 1989 win over Crystal Palace.
Luis Diaz (twice), Roberto Firmino (twice), Harvey Elliott, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Fabio Carvalho all scored that day.
Incredibly, there have been six 8-0 victories throughout club history, including the 2008 Champions League victory over Besiktas. It was the second of three record wins since 2000.
And you may have noticed a trend, that the majority of these record wins have unfolded at Anfield.
In fact, only one was played on the road, and that was an 8-0 win at Stoke in 2000.
Christian Ziege, Vladimir Smicer, Markus Babbel, Robbie Fowler (hat-trick), Sami Hyypia and Danny Murphy all scored in what remains Liverpool’s biggest-ever away win.
The closest Arne Slot‘s men have come is a 5-0 win over West Ham in 2024/25, but will he ever oversee a team on this list?
