Four matches were won by exactly one goal during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The one-goal victories were Ipswich Town 2–1 Sunderland, Nottingham Forest 0–1 Leeds United, Manchester City 2–1 Bournemouth, and Fulham 2–3 Chelsea. Each winning side finished one goal ahead of its opponent.
The remaining six matches do not fit that category. Arsenal, Hull City, Everton, Brentford, and Brighton won by at least two goals, while Newcastle United and Liverpool drew 2–2.
This count is based on final score margin, not on when the decisive goal was scored. It also includes both home and away wins, so the venue does not affect the classification.
