Which team was the only opening-weekend opponent to score four goals in the 2026–27 Premier League?

Brighton & Hove Albion were the only team to score four goals during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

Brighton defeated Aston Villa 4–0 on Sunday 23 August 2026. No other club reached four goals in the opening round: Arsenal and Brentford scored three each, Chelsea scored three, and several teams scored one or two.

The result made Brighton’s victory the biggest home win of the round. It also placed the club at the top of the early table on goal difference after the first set of matches, ahead of other teams that had won their opening fixtures.

Brighton’s fixture was scheduled for Sunday because of the club’s participation in UEFA Conference League qualifying play-offs during the preceding week. The scheduling adjustment meant that the match was played later than the Saturday fixtures, but Brighton still produced the round’s most emphatic result.
