What are the highest scoring games in the history of the English Premier League?

There have been some very lopsided results in EPL history, though in order to set the mark for the highest scoring game, you usually need two teams to both score a bunch of goals.

This is what happened on September 29th, 2007, when Portsmouth battled Reading.

The two sides combined for a record 11 goals, with Portsmouth winning by a mark of 7-4.

There were only three goals scored in the first half, though the floodgates really opened in the second.

From the 75th minute on, five of the 11 goals were scored.

Here are highlights from the game:
