Which fixture produced the most goals in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round?
Answer
Fulham 2–3 Chelsea
Fulham 2–3 Chelsea produced the most goals in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
The five-goal match was played at Craven Cottage on Monday 24 August 2026. Chelsea won the west London contest by a single goal, scoring three times to Fulham’s two.
No other opening-round fixture reached five total goals. Brighton’s 4–0 win over Aston Villa contained four goals, while Newcastle United’s 2–2 draw with Liverpool also produced four.
Fulham versus Chelsea was the final match of the opening round. Because the fixture was played on Monday, the result completed the first set of standings for the new Premier League season after all 20 clubs had played once.
