Which team scored four goals in the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend, the most by any winning side?

Brighton & Hove Albion scored four goals in the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend, the most by any winning side.

Brighton defeated Aston Villa 4–0 on Sunday, 23 August 2026. No other winning team scored four or more goals in the opening round: Arsenal and Brentford scored three each, while Everton and Hull City scored two each.

The result also produced the opening weekend’s biggest home win. Brighton’s four goals and clean sheet gave them a plus-four goal difference, which placed them top of the early table ahead of other teams with three points.

Chelsea scored three goals in a 3–2 away victory at Fulham on Monday, but that total was still one short of Brighton’s four. The question asks for the team’s goals, not the overall number of goals in every match or the highest-scoring draw.
