Four goals were scored in Brighton & Hove Albion’s 4–0 win over Aston Villa during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match took place at Brighton’s home stadium on Sunday 23 August 2026. Brighton scored all four goals, so the total also represented the biggest home winning margin of the opening round.
The game was part of the Sunday afternoon schedule, alongside Manchester City versus Bournemouth. Brighton’s result stood out because no other opening-round match produced a home win by four goals. It gave Brighton an immediate boost in goal difference as well as three points.
The total can be confused with the number of goals in Chelsea’s 3–2 victory over Fulham, which produced five goals overall. It is also distinct from Newcastle United versus Liverpool, where four goals were scored in total but were shared equally in a 2–2 draw. Here, all four goals belonged to Brighton.
