Jack Hinshelwood scored two goals in 79 seconds for Brighton against Aston Villa.
Hinshelwood’s rapid double helped Brighton build an extraordinary early lead on the opening weekend. The two goals came within just 79 seconds, a remarkably short interval even by the standards of a high-scoring football match.
Brighton scored four times in the first 31 minutes and eventually defeated Aston Villa 4–0. Hinshelwood’s brace was therefore part of a dominant first-half display rather than a pair of late goals in a close contest.
The player comes from a football family and developed through Brighton’s academy before becoming a first-team player. His two-goal burst against Villa was especially notable because it arrived in the opening match of the season and immediately placed him among the weekend’s most memorable performers.
