Which team won 4–0 against Aston Villa in the biggest home victory of the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend?

Brighton & Hove Albion won 4–0 against Aston Villa in the biggest home victory of the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

The match was played on Sunday 23 August 2026 at the American Express Stadium in Falmer. Brighton’s four-goal margin was the largest home winning margin among the 10 opening-round matches.

The result stood out because Brighton kept Aston Villa scoreless while scoring four times. It was also one of two Sunday afternoon fixtures, alongside Manchester City’s match against AFC Bournemouth.

This result can be confused with Manchester City’s 2–1 home win or Arsenal’s 3–0 victory. Brighton’s 4–0 scoreline was the opening weekend’s clearest home victory and was later listed as the season’s biggest home win at that point.
