Which team scored four goals in the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend?

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

Brighton defeated Aston Villa 4–0 on Sunday 23 August 2026. Their four goals were the most scored by any single team during the opening round, and the clean sheet gave them the weekend’s best goal difference.

The performance was stronger than Arsenal’s 3–0 win over Coventry City and Brentford’s 3–0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur. Manchester City scored twice against Bournemouth, while Chelsea scored three times in their 3–2 win at Fulham.

Brighton’s four-goal total also explains why they led the table after matchweek one. Several clubs won their opening games and collected three points, but Brighton’s superior goal difference separated them from the other early leaders. The four goals were scored in one match, rather than across multiple opening-weekend fixtures.
