Five goals were scored in Fulham’s 2–3 defeat by Chelsea in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
Chelsea scored three times and Fulham scored twice, producing a combined total of five goals. The match was played at Craven Cottage on Monday 24 August 2026 and was the final game of the first Match Round.
The fixture was the only opening-round match to produce five goals. It was also one of only two matches in the round in which both teams scored at least twice; Newcastle United’s 2–2 draw with Liverpool was the other.
A common mistake is to count the result as three goals because Chelsea won, or two because Fulham scored twice. In football statistics, the total number of goals in a match includes the goals scored by both teams.
