Which club recorded the biggest winning margin in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round?

Brighton & Hove Albion recorded the biggest winning margin in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.

Brighton defeated Aston Villa 4–0 at home, winning by four goals. No other club in the ten-match round matched that margin. Arsenal and Brentford both won by three goals, while Hull City and Everton recorded two-goal victories.

The result was especially striking because Brighton scored all four goals during the opening 31 minutes. Aston Villa also had a player sent off, leaving the visitors with ten men for part of the match.

The largest winning margin is different from the highest-scoring match. Fulham and Chelsea produced five total goals in a 3–2 Chelsea win, while Brighton’s match had four total goals but the widest difference between the teams.
