Discover the mythical moments of Boxing Day

Here are some mythical records of the Boxing Day Premier League, some are particularly impressive and should not fall on December 26th.

• The record of goals scored in 1 Boxing Day : the most prolific sacred day of the English championship dates back more than 50 years ago from exactly 1963. That year 66 goals had been scored, some of them very high scores, Liverpool against Stoke City (6-0), Blackburn on the field of West Ham (8-2), and especially Fulham against Ipswich (10-1). A record that seems unbeatable today.
• The biggest victory in a Boxing Day match: to see the most prolific encounter in history, we must go back to a particular context, that of the 1st World War. That day, Brighton moves to Norwich with very many absentees, to the point of having to call on reservists and even spectators. These choices obviously don't pay off, and the blue and white are down 18-0, hard to swallow. We can move forward without too much risk by asserting that he will remain unbeaten after this 2021 edition. /li>
• The top scorer : the most effective footballer on Holy Day is Robbie Fowler. The former England international has scored 9 goals in ten appearances, four with Leeds United, three with Liverpool, and two with Manchester City. But this record could fall as early as this year, because the number 9 of the Three Lions Harry Kane has already scored eight and could equalize or even break the record if he finds the net against Crystal Palace.
