Brighton & Hove Albion scored four goals in their 2026–27 Premier League opening-weekend win.
Brighton defeated Aston Villa 4–0 at home on Sunday 23 August 2026. The score gave Brighton the best goal difference of any team after the opening round and put them at the top of the table.
The result was one of three opening-weekend wins by three or more goals. Arsenal and Brentford each won 3–0, while Brighton went one better with four goals and no reply.
The match also became an early reference point in the season’s statistics because it was listed as the biggest home win at that stage. Brighton’s performance combined attacking output with a clean sheet, meaning Aston Villa failed to score.
