Five goals were scored in Fulham’s 2026–27 Premier League opening-weekend match against Chelsea.
Chelsea won the match 3–2 at Craven Cottage on Monday 24 August 2026. Adding Chelsea’s three goals to Fulham’s two produces a total of five, making it the highest-scoring match of the opening round alongside the other results recorded that weekend.
The game was an entertaining end to the first round and featured a back-and-forth contest rather than a clean-sheet victory. Chelsea scored the winning goal after Fulham had made the match close, while Fulham scored the fifth and final goal in the 54th minute.
The question asks for total goals, not Chelsea’s goals or the winning margin. Those figures are three and one respectively. The total is five because both teams contributed to the scoreline.
