Which club finished the 2026–27 Premier League opening round with a 4–0 victory?

Brighton & Hove Albion finished the 2026–27 Premier League opening round with a 4–0 victory.

Brighton defeated Aston Villa at home on Sunday, 23 August 2026. The four-goal margin was the largest home win in the opening round, leaving Brighton with a plus-four goal difference and three points.

That goal difference mattered in the early table. Brighton were listed first after the round, ahead of Arsenal and Brentford, who also won but by narrower margins. All three clubs had three points, so goal difference separated them.

The match was part of a ten-game opening round spread across four days. Arsenal and Coventry opened the season on Friday; four matches were played on Saturday; three took place on Sunday; and Fulham versus Chelsea completed the round on Monday. Brighton’s 4–0 scoreline was therefore one of the clearest statistical markers of the opening weekend.
