Jack Hinshelwood scored twice within 79 seconds for Brighton in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
Brighton & Hove Albion defeated Aston Villa 4–0 on Sunday 23 August 2026. Hinshelwood’s quick double helped Brighton race into a commanding lead during the first half.
The goals formed part of four Brighton strikes scored inside the opening 31 minutes. Maxim De Cuyper scored another goal, while Aston Villa defender Victor Lindelöf contributed an own goal to complete the 4–0 scoreline.
Hinshelwood’s two goals were notable because they came only 79 seconds apart. The feat is distinct from scoring twice in a match generally: the defining statistic here is the unusually short interval between his two finishes.
