Which club scored four goals in the first 31 minutes of the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend?

The story behind the answer

Brighton & Hove Albion scored four goals in the first 31 minutes of the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

Brighton achieved the feat against Aston Villa at the Amex Stadium on Sunday, 23 August 2026. The rapid start put Brighton firmly in control and formed the basis of their eventual 4–0 victory.

The four-goal burst was the most striking attacking spell of the opening round. Manchester City also scored twice against Bournemouth, but that match ended 2–1 after City came from behind. Chelsea scored three times in a 3–2 win at Fulham.

The 4–0 result also gave Brighton the largest winning margin of matchweek one. It helped them begin the season top of the table on goal difference.
