Chelsea won the highest-scoring match of the 2026–27 Premier League opening round, defeating Fulham 3–2.
The match was played at Craven Cottage on Monday 24 August 2026, making it the final fixture of the opening round. The five-goal total exceeded every other match in the round, although Newcastle United versus Liverpool also produced four goals.
Chelsea took all three points in an away victory, while Fulham scored twice in the west London meeting. The result gave Chelsea a winning start under new head coach Xabi Alonso, with Fulham beginning their campaign without a point.
The answer is Chelsea rather than Brighton & Hove Albion, even though Brighton scored four goals in a 4–0 victory. Brighton had the largest winning margin, but Chelsea’s match contained the most goals overall.
