Five goals were scored in Fulham vs Chelsea, making it the highest-scoring match of the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
Chelsea won the Craven Cottage contest 3–2 on Monday, 24 August 2026. Adding the two Fulham goals to Chelsea’s three gives a total of five.
The match narrowly exceeded the opening weekend’s other high-scoring fixtures. Brighton beat Aston Villa 4–0, while several matches produced three goals, including Arsenal versus Coventry and Manchester City versus Bournemouth.
The five-goal total refers to the combined score, not the winning margin. Chelsea’s margin was only one goal, because the final score was 3–2 rather than a more decisive result.
