Brighton scored four goals in the first 31 minutes against Aston Villa during the 2026–27 opening weekend.
Brighton & Hove Albion produced the round’s fastest burst of scoring, finding the net four times before the 31-minute mark. The early barrage helped them defeat Aston Villa 4–0 and finish the opening round with one of its largest victories.
The match was played on Sunday, 23 August 2026. Aston Villa were reduced to 10 players, adding to Brighton’s control and helping the home side protect its substantial early advantage.
The result is separate from the 4–0 Brentford victory over Tottenham Hotspur, another four-goal winning margin from the opening round. Brighton’s notable statistic concerns timing: all four of its goals arrived within the first 31 minutes.
