Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi labelled teenager Jack Hinshelwood \u201cPascal Gross\u2019 son\u201d following his match-winning display in a 2-1 Premier League success over Brentford.<\/p>\n
England Under-19 international Hinshelwood marked his first senior appearance at the Amex Stadium by heading the second-half winner, just seconds after making a crucial goal-line clearance to deny Yoane Wissa.<\/p>\n
De Zerbi praised the maturity of the 18-year-old full-back as he likened him to stand-in Albion skipper Gross, who assisted the decisive goal, having cancelled out Bryan Mbeumo\u2019s penalty.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe played another great game,\u201d the Italian coach said of Hinshelwood.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe deserves to play now because he plays like an older player.<\/p>\n
\u201cYesterday I said Jack is Pascal Gross\u2019 son because he is very young but he plays like an older player.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has personality, he is very smart on the pitch, he can play full-back, midfielder in every position.\u201d<\/p>\n
Victory for eighth-placed Brighton was just their second in nine top-flight fixtures.<\/p>\n
Sussex-born Hinshelwood, whose father Adam played 100 league games for Albion between 2002 and 2009, was making only his fifth top-flight appearance and first on home soil.<\/p>\n
The academy graduate claimed his maiden first-team goal in the 52nd minute by powering home Gross\u2019 looping cross from the left, having raced forward in the aftermath of preventing Wissa restoring the visitors\u2019 lead.<\/p>\n
He received a standing ovation when he was replaced 17 minutes from time before returning to the field at full-time to soak in the acclaim.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is an unbelievable feeling, it was my first game playing here at the Amex in front of all these fans,\u201d Hinshelwood, who joined the club aged seven, told Amazon Prime.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd it was a brilliant feeling to get a standing ovation when I came off. I am just delighted to get the win.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fans, players and manager have all shown great belief in me and I am just trying to repay them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brentford goalscorer Mbeumo was forced off shortly before the break with a nasty-looking ankle issue, while his replacement Wissa was perhaps fortunate to escape a red card for raising his hand into the face of Billy Gilmour.<\/p>\n
Bees boss Thomas Frank is awaiting an update on the severity of Mbeumo\u2019s issue and played down the Wissa incident.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe rolled his ankle, we will assess him tomorrow and then we will see the status of it,\u201d the Dane said of his leading scorer.<\/p>\n
Asked about Wissa, he replied: \u201cI saw a player who holds the ball (Gilmour) and I saw a player who wanted to start quick and then I saw two players get a yellow card each.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know everyone will speak about red card or no red card \u2013 I think it was absolutely handled right by the ref.\u201d<\/p>\n
