Which team won 4–0 against Aston Villa on the opening Sunday of the 2026–27 Premier League?

Brighton & Hove Albion beat Aston Villa 4–0 on the opening Sunday of the 2026–27 Premier League.

The match was played on 23 August 2026, and Brighton scored all four of their goals during the first 31 minutes. Aston Villa were reduced to 10 players, making it difficult for them to recover from the early deficit.

Brighton’s result was the largest home win of the opening weekend and placed them among the round’s most impressive performers. Their four-goal first half also joined a small group of teams to score four times before the interval in a Matchweek 1 fixture.

This result is distinct from Manchester City’s 2–1 comeback against Bournemouth later the same day. Brighton’s opponent was Aston Villa, and the final score was 4–0 rather than a one-goal victory.
