Everyone loves Premier League football on Boxing Day.Supporters from up and down the country, dressed in embarrassing jumpers they must pretend to like, escape to a winter wonderland of sport on December 26th each and every year.
9Bolton 4-3 Newcastle, 2002
Defending often seems to take Christmas off and 2002 was no exception. When three goals were scored in the first ten minutes, it was clear football fans were in for a festive treat.
9Charlton 4-2 Chelsea, 2003
Roman Abramovich’s first blue Christmas didnt quite go to plan. It took Charlton just 42 seconds to take the lead.John Terry did equalise but the Addicks were in winter wonderland as they cruised to a 4-1 lead with goals from Matt Holland, Jonatan Johansson and Jason Euell.
9Chelsea 4-4 Aston Villa, 2007
Villa have had their fair share of Christmas crackers on Boxing Day. Three red cards and eight goals, this one had it all.The Claret and Blues took a shock 2-0 lead courtesy of a Shaun Maloney double, but Zat Knight’s red card paved the way for Chelsea’s Andriy Shevchenko to bag twice and level the scoring.
9Aston Villa 2-2 Arsenal, 2008
It wasn’t all that long ago that Villa were challenging for the Premier League top four.The Gunners, meanwhile, were hoping to strengthen their title credentials and looked to have done so when goals from Denilson and Abou Diaby put them ahead either side of half-time.
9Manchester City 5-1 Hull, 2008
Boxing Day 2008 was immortalised by Phil Brown for one of the most iconic team talks in Premier League history.The Tigers looked to be suffering from a Christmas day hangover in the first half and found themselves 4-0 down to the Sky Blues at half time.Brown sat his men down on the pitch in front of the travelling Hull fans and unleashed a very public verbal tirade.
9Manchester United 4-3 Newcastle, 2012
This game saw Champions-elect Man United come from behind three times to steal a dramatic victory.James Perch gave the Magpies an early lead before Jonny Evans equalised, but the United defender cancelled out his goal by then turning the ball into his own net, restoring Newcastle’s lead. Patrice Evra levelled once again with a low drive before a Papiss Cisse special made it 3-2.
9Tottenham 5-2 Southampton, 2017
Harry Kane smashed Alan Shearers Premier League record for goals scored in a calendar year by hitting a hat-trick in Tottenhams 5-2 mauling of Southampton.Kane needed only one goal to pass the 36 scored by Shearer in 1995 but the Spurs striker banged in three at Wembley to finish 2017 on an astonishing 39 goals in 36 league matches.
9Bournemouth 3-3 West Ham, 2017
A controversial stoppage-time goal salvaged a 3-3 draw for Bournemouth against West Ham in a thrilling Premier League encounter at Dean Court.Callum Wilson was credited with the Cherries third after he had the final touch as Nathan Ake headed goalwards. There was a suspicion of offside and handball but referee Bobby Madley eventually awarded the equaliser after a lengthy conversation with assistant Simon Long.
