Which player scored twice for Brighton in its 4–0 win over Aston Villa on 23 August 2026?

Jack Hinshelwood scored twice for Brighton in the 4–0 win over Aston Villa on 23 August 2026.

The match took place at the Amex Stadium and was already effectively decided by half-time. Hinshelwood’s brace formed the central part of Brighton’s four-goal burst, while Maxim De Cuyper also scored and one goal was recorded as an Aston Villa own goal.

Hinshelwood is a Brighton academy graduate who made his senior debut for the club as a teenager. His versatility has allowed him to operate in midfield and defensive roles, making a two-goal performance especially notable.

The names in the wrong answers are plausible because they are associated with Brighton’s attacking history or squad discussions, but they did not score twice in this fixture. The key distinction is that Hinshelwood supplied the match’s brace, helping Brighton begin the season with a 4–0 victory.
