Apologies for the duplication as I've posted this as a reply elsewhere, but there seems to be a few bits of discussion on various other threads about this so hopefully this finds everyone who is interested.
Yesterday was the 9th time we've won a League game 6-2, and the 8th at home.
6 of these took place before WW2.
6-2 (H) Manchester City, 26/2/1912, D1
6-2 (A) Arsenal, 26/3/1921, D1
6-2 (H) Tottenham, 8/3/1924, D1
6-2 (H) West Ham, 26/12/1927, D1
6-2 (H) Liverpool, 29/8/1932, D1
6-2 (H) Bolton, 29/9/1934, D2
6-2 (H) Leeds, 4/1/1947, D1
6-2 (H) Newcastle, 1/1/1955, D1
6-2 (H) Peterborough, 11/9/2001, Champ
For those still reading - we've lost a League game 6-2 on seven occasions, all away, most recently at Sunderland on 25/4/1979.
We've recorded a 6-2 win in non-competitive matches a further seven times, most recently against Rhyl in a friendly in 1958. 3 of the other 6 came in WW2 league/cup.
We've never won or lost 6-2 in the FA or League Cups, unless you count the aggregate win over Lincoln in the League Cup 1st Round in September 2000. Coincidentally the first leg 6-1 win was the last time we scored 6, prior to the Orient FA Cup game in 2016.
