Four goals were scored in Brighton & Hove Albion’s 4–0 win over Aston Villa on the 2026–27 opening weekend.
Brighton scored all four goals in the match, while Aston Villa did not score. The fixture took place at Brighton’s Amex Stadium on Sunday 23 August 2026 and finished as the weekend’s largest home victory.
The total of four is the match’s combined score, not Brighton’s margin alone in a different game. Because Villa finished with zero goals, the winning margin and the number of goals scored by Brighton were both four.
The result also had an early impact on the league table. Brighton earned three points and a goal difference of plus four, placing the club above several other opening-weekend winners. The match was one of two Sunday fixtures scheduled for 14:00 BST, alongside Manchester City versus Bournemouth.
