Which team scored four goals in Brighton & Hove Albion’s 4–0 opening-weekend win?

Brighton & Hove Albion scored four goals in a 4–0 opening-weekend win over Aston Villa.

The match was played at Falmer Stadium on Sunday 23 August 2026. Brighton’s four-goal margin was the largest home victory of the opening round, putting them among the early leaders on goal difference.

The fixture had a 14:00 BST kick-off and was one of two Sunday matches scheduled at that time. The other was Manchester City against AFC Bournemouth, which ended 2–1. Brighton’s game was therefore the more emphatic of the simultaneous Sunday contests.

The result also carried scheduling context: Brighton were involved in UEFA Conference League qualification play-offs during the preceding week. The Premier League placed their opening match on Sunday to accommodate that European commitment.
