Which Brighton player scored twice in 79 seconds against Aston Villa in August 2026?

Jack Hinshelwood scored twice in 79 seconds against Aston Villa in August 2026.

Hinshelwood scored two of Brighton & Hove Albion's four first-half goals in their 4–0 victory over Aston Villa on 23 August 2026. The two goals arrived just 79 seconds apart at the start of Brighton's remarkable attacking burst.

Maxim De Cuyper scored Brighton's other goal, while Aston Villa defender Victor Lindelöf was credited with an own goal. Brighton had already reached four goals by the 31st minute and held that score until full time.

The performance continued Hinshelwood's strong scoring form. He had also scored three goals in Brighton's final five matches of the 2025–26 season. Although he was only 21 during the match, his two-goal contribution made him the standout scorer of Brighton's opening-weekend victory.
