A scorigami is a final score that has never happened before. The term was coined by the writer Jon Bois for American football and has since been applied across many sports. On this site, the empty squares are results the Premier League has never produced, and a result that has happened exactly once is marked as a scorigami: the day it happened, it was brand new.
The same idea, applied to the game most of the world calls football: a final score that has never happened before. In the NFL, where the term began, new final scores still turn up most seasons. Football's low scores make them far rarer: 13,216 Premier League matches have produced only 36 different final scores, ignoring venue, and the grid shows every one.
Home / Away, the default, puts the home team's goals along the bottom and the away team's goals up the side, so a 3–1 home win and a 1–3 away win are separate squares. Winner / Loser ignores venue. Read it from either team's point of view: goals scored along the bottom, goals conceded up the side. Each result therefore appears in two mirrored squares, one for each team, and both show the same total.
Because it shows that new results are still being made. Ignoring venue, the Premier League has not produced a new scoreline since West Brom 5–5 Man United in May 2013. Split by home and away, there have been four since: Cardiff 3–6 Liverpool, Southampton 0–9 Leicester City, Crystal Palace 0–7 Liverpool and Sheffield Utd 0–8 Newcastle. Many open squares remain within reach. No team has ever won 7–2 away from home, for example, although it has happened five times at home.
Yes. Draws sit on the diagonal, where both scores are equal. 1–1 and 0–0 are among the most common results in the competition, 4–4 has happened 18 times, and 5–5 only once: West Brom 5–5 Man United in May 2013.
Goals are scarce in football. The four most common Premier League results are 1–0, 2–1, 2–0 and 1–1, and only around one match in 42 produces seven or more goals. Ten or more is rarer still: it has happened in six matches, and each of those scorelines has happened only once.
Six scorelines have happened exactly once: 7–4, 9–1, 8–2, 7–3, 6–4 and 5–5, all between 2007 and 2013. Counting home and away separately, 11 results are one-offs. The Records page lists each one with the match it came from.
Portsmouth 7–4 Reading on September 29, 2007. Its 11 goals are a Premier League record, and no other match has produced more than 10. The record winning margin is nine goals, reached four times: first Man United 9–0 Ipswich Town in 1995, most recently Liverpool 9–0 Bournemouth in 2022.
Colors are grouped into bands, and the bands fit the view. All-time counts run into the thousands (Once, 2–9, 10–49, up to 1,000+), while a single season tops out in the tens (Once, 2, 3–4, up to 20+). Every square also shows its exact count, and the legend always lists the bands in use.
Every Premier League match from the first season, 1992/93, to the most recent completed match: 13,216 in total. The grid's Top flight since 1888 view adds every match of the old First Division, from 1888/89 to 1991/92; everything else on the site covers the Premier League.
During matchdays the site checks for finished matches every ten minutes, so new results usually appear within about 15 minutes of the final whistle. If a score is corrected after full time, for example when a late goal is confirmed, the stored result is updated automatically.
Results come from football-data.org. The complete history has been checked, match by match, against two independent archives: football-data.co.uk and the openfootball project. Club crests are also supplied by football-data.org.
Yes. Select any square to open its details, then choose Share on X for a ready-written post, or the download button for a square image of the result, sized for social media.
Yes. @footygami posts every Premier League result automatically as matches finish, with extra detail when a result is rare, new for a club or has never happened before, and a round-up of each day's results. Around each round it also posts Scorigami Watch (the odds of a never-seen result), a recap of what happened, and the title race so far as a video. Every day it posts a notable match from that date in history, and every Thursday a past title race as a video.
Until October 2026 it was Premier League Scorigami (premierleaguescorigami.com, and @pl_gami on X). Footygami is shorter and easier to remember, and it covers the top flight's history before the Premier League too: the old First Division's results back to 1888 are already on the grid. Nothing else changed. Old links still work (they bring you here), and the X account is the same one under its new name, @footygami.
