Hinshelwood delivers cameo flourish to seal Brighton's comeback

Arne Slot spent the week partying in Ibiza after guiding Liverpool to their 20th league title with four games to spare. But against a Brighton team still desperate to qualify for Europe next season, the Dutchman and his team were brought back down to earth as Jack Hinshelwood's late winner with his first touch off the bench sealed a memorable comeback for Fabian Hürzeler's side.

It was no more than the hosts deserved after twice falling behind to goals from Harvey Elliott and Dominic Szoboszlai, with Yasin Ayari and then another substitute - Kaoru Mitoma - equalising to spark a frantic finale. Slot could surely have had no complaints as Mohamed Salah endured a night to forget in front of goal and Trent Alexander-Arnold didn't even get on the pitch. Brighton can now travel to Tottenham on the final day knowing that their fate is in their own hands having edged ahead of Brentford into eighth in the table.

Liverpool's players would probably rather have still been on the beach in Dubai after their exertions this season. But with their supporters having travelled in numbers and clearly enjoying a beautiful evening on the south coast, there was a surprising intensity about their start given they had nothing to play for.

Slot made four changes from the side that surrendered a two-goal lead against Arsenal, with Federico Chiesa handed his first Premier League start of the season. Alexander-Arnold was probably relieved to be named on the bench alongside captain Virgil van Dijk after being booed at Anfield last week following the announcement of his impending departure to Real Madrid.
