We look at the key facts and figures from the weekend's Premier League matches.

Tottenham Hotspur 9-1 Wigan Athletic

The win at White Hart Lane is the biggest recorded in the Premier League for more than 10 years and one of only three matches in Premier League history which have been won by eight or more goals. Manchester United's 9-0 win against Ipswich Town on March 4, 1995 remains the record.

It was Tottenham's biggest top-flight victory, beating the three occasions on which they had won by seven goals. Their biggest ever league win was 9-0 against Bristol Rovers in a Second Division match in 1977.

Jermain Defoe's five goals equal the Premier League record for most goals in a match, alongside Andy Cole's haul for United in that Ipswich match and the five Alan Shearer bagged in Newcastle's 8-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday in 1999.

Unsurprisingly, the defeat was Wigan's biggest in their league history in all divisions.

Sunderland 1-0 Arsenal

The defeat at the Stadium of Light was the first time Arsenal have failed to score in any competitive match all season.

Darren Bent scored his ninth Premier League goal of this season and his 14th in 2009. Wayne Rooney is the only English player with more goals than Bent in 2009, having scored 15.

Bent has already scored against each of the 'big four' sides in the league this season. The last player to do that was Michael Ricketts for Bolton in the 2001-02 season.

Chelsea 4-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers

Chelsea won their 12th consecutive match at Stamford Bridge in all competitions, a new club record.

They also kept a clean sheet for the 10th consecutive home match in all competitions, equalling their club record set 82 years ago.

Michael Essien's only previous career brace came for Lyon against Werder Bremen in the Champions League in 2005.

Manchester United 3-0 Everton

Everton suffered their heaviest away defeat since losing 3-0 at the same ground on November 29, 2006.

Michael Carrick scored his 10th Premier League goal for United, nine of which have come at Old Trafford.

Everton's 12 league matches this season have all been goalless after 15 minutes, and they are the only team left this season yet to score or concede in the opening quarter of an hour.

Liverpool 2-2 Manchester City

Liverpool have now scored 21 goals in six league matches at Anfield this season - no other team have more home goals in the Premier League.

Manchester City equalled their club record of six consecutive league draws, set in 1913.

Martin Skrtel became the seventh Slovakian to score in the Premier League with his goal on Saturday, his first league goal for the club.

Hull City 3-3 West Ham United

Hull scored three Premier League goals at the KC Stadium for the first time.

West Ham's 2-0 lead within 11 minutes was the quickest this season in the Premier League.

The Hammers lost a two-goal lead for the second time in three weeks after drawing 2-2 with Sunderland on October 31.

Kamil Zayatte scored his third Premier League goal for Hull. He has also scored the same number of own goals.

Burnley 1-1 Aston Villa

Emile Heskey's goal means he is now one of only nine players to score in 14 different Premier League seasons or more. Ryan Giggs leads the way, having scored in each of the 18 seasons of the Premier League era.

Birmingham City 1-0 Fulham

Birmingham scored in the opening 20 minutes of a Premier League match for the first time this season. Everton are the only side yet to do so.

Stoke City 1-0 Portsmouth

Kevin-Prince Boateng's penalty miss means Portsmouth have now failed to score from three of their last four spot-kicks in the Premier League. John Utaka and Jermain Defoe missed the others.

Bolton Wanderers 0-2 Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn ended their 10-match losing streak away from home, winning on the road for the first time in over eight months since a 2-1 victory at Fulham on March 11.

David Dunn scored his fifth goal of the season. Only Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas has scored more from midfield.

Bolton's Jussi Jaaskelainen became the 10th goalkeeper to complete 300 Premier League appearances. David James racked up the most with 558.
