Chelsea scored three goals in the highest-scoring match of the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
Chelsea defeated Fulham 3–2 at Craven Cottage on Monday, 24 August 2026. The five-goal total made it the highest-scoring match of the opening round, and Chelsea’s three goals gave the visitors the victory.
The game was also the only opening-weekend fixture in which five goals were scored. The next-highest totals were four goals in Newcastle United’s 2–2 draw with Liverpool and Brighton’s 4–0 win over Aston Villa. Those matches had four total goals, one fewer than Fulham and Chelsea produced.
The question asks for the team that scored three, not the team that conceded two. Fulham was the home side and scored twice, while Chelsea scored three times. Chelsea therefore finished the round with a win and a positive one-goal margin from this match.
