Which team won 4–0 against Aston Villa in the largest victory of the 2026–27 Premier League opening round?

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

The match was played at the Amex Stadium on Sunday 23 August 2026. Brighton scored four times without conceding, giving them the opening round’s biggest winning margin and an immediate place near the top of the table.

The result was more emphatic than Arsenal’s 3–0 win over Coventry City and Brentford’s 3–0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur. Manchester City also won, but their 2–1 scoreline was much closer.

Brighton’s result is also notable because it came against Aston Villa, an established Premier League club. The clean sheet mattered in the early standings, where goal difference separated teams that had the same number of points.
