Which team won 4–0 in the biggest home victory of the 2026–27 Premier League opening round?

Brighton & Hove Albion recorded the biggest home victory of the 2026–27 Premier League opening round, beating Aston Villa 4–0.

The match was played at Brighton’s Falmer Stadium on 23 August 2026. The four-goal margin was larger than every other home win in the opening round, making it the round’s biggest home victory.

Brighton’s manager was Fabian Hürzeler, while Aston Villa were managed by Unai Emery. Brighton also kept a clean sheet, so the result combined the round’s largest home winning margin with a shutout. It was one of the two Sunday matches beginning at the same time.

The result is sometimes confused with Brentford’s 3–0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur or Arsenal’s 3–0 win over Coventry City. Both were decisive home victories, but Brighton’s 4–0 scoreline was the largest by one additional goal.
