Four goals were scored in Brighton & Hove Albion’s 4–0 win over Aston Villa in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
Brighton scored all four goals at home on Sunday 23 August 2026. Aston Villa did not score, so the total number of goals equals Brighton’s winning score.
The match was the biggest home win listed for the opening weekend and gave Brighton a goal difference of plus four after one match. That made the result particularly valuable in the early league table.
A common mix-up is to count the two teams rather than the goals, or to confuse this result with the five-goal Fulham–Chelsea match. Brighton–Villa produced four goals in total.
