Which club scored four first-half goals in its 2026–27 Premier League opening-weekend match?

Brighton & Hove Albion scored four first-half goals in their 2026–27 Premier League opening-weekend match.

Brighton achieved the feat during a 4–0 home victory over Aston Villa on Sunday 23 August 2026. The result was already effectively settled by half-time because every Brighton goal arrived before the interval.

The performance placed Brighton among the small number of teams to score four times in the first half of a Premier League Matchweek 1 fixture. Their fast start contrasted with Manchester City, who needed late goals to beat Bournemouth, and Arsenal, who won 3–0 against Coventry City.

The club’s name is sometimes shortened to Brighton, but the official Premier League name is Brighton & Hove Albion. That full name is the canonical answer because it identifies the football club rather than the city or the stadium.
