As minutes in his fledgling career go, Jack Hinshelwood will not have yet had a better 60 seconds than the one which ended with him as Brighton\u2019s match-winning hero.<\/p>\n
The young academy product\u2019s big moment actually contained two vital contributions in quick succession, beginning with a goal-line clearance to save his side when Yoane Wissa\u2019s shot flew towards the bottom corner.<\/p>\n
Seconds later he found himself in the right place at the right time in the opposition box too when he rose highest to head in Pascal Gross\u2019s cross.<\/p>\n
The passion in the 18 year-old\u2019s celebration said it all as the local lad marked scoring his first goal for his boyhood club, one he joined aged seven, before he later departed to a standing ovation and with his name being sung around the ground.<\/p>\n
It was a big goal for Roberto De Zerbi and Brighton too, earning them a first home league win since September in a season which has seen their form and resources impacted by the added demands of European football.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brighton dominated the first 25 minutes, doing all the probing, repeatedly feeding the recalled Kaoru Mitoma but ultimately having little to show for all their possession other than a deflected Gross effort.<\/p>\n
