Eleven goals in the game – 4 from Reading and 7 from Portsmouth .The highest-scoring game in Premier League history, beating the previous record of nine.There would have been one more to the tally if Reading’s Graeme Murty had scored his penalty .Benjani Mwaruwari scored a hat-trick and the irony is that he might not even have been picked for the team had it not been for an injury to Nwankwo Kanu Harry Redknapp’s first-choice centre-forward.Goals below.
The old record of nine goals in a PL game has been achieved by quite a few teams in the past.Manchester United hold the record for one of the most impressive scores – a 9 – 0 victory over Ipswich in 1995.They didn’t quite manage that against Birmingham yesterday.Ronaldo scored the only goal (video) and Kuszczak brought off a great save (video) to prevent the equaliser .
