Captain fantastic Dunk the catalyst for comeback victory says Hinshelwood

- BY PAUL BROWN

JACK HINSHELWOOD wrote the headlines - but insisted the inspiration for Brighton's comeback win came from Lewis Dunk.

England Under -21s midfielder Hinshelwood returned from injury to score his first goal since May.

And it proved to be the winner after Bart Verbruggen saved a stoppage-time penalty from Brentford's Igor Thiago.

Danny Welbeck had already equalised after Thiago scored his first penalty and Hinshelwood completed the comeback.

But the 20-year-old wishes he was as big an influence over the Seagulls as Dunk.

Fabian Hurzeler revealed afterwards that Brighton's talismanic skipper had missed two days of training with an illness before the match.

But Dunk came on at halftime and helped change the game as the Seagulls ground out a comeback win.
