Premier League: How Hinshelwood and his cousin helped Brighton beat Liverpool
Howell, 17, made his Premier League debut when he came on as a substitute with his cousin in the 84th minute of the clash and Hinshelwood scored at the far post a minute later to secure the 3-2 win.
"It was a really nice moment coming on with my cousin," Hinshelwood, 20, told Sky TV.
"We've been working so hard since we were kids. Playing together since we were just born, kicking balls with each other.
"He made a great run across the front post to open the gap for me, so I'll be thanking him later."
Both players came through the youth academy from the age of seven at Brighton, where Hinshelwood's great uncle Martin was once director of football and caretaker manager.
Battling for eighth place and a slim chance of playing European football next season if Chelsea win the Conference League, Brighton went behind in the ninth minute when Harvey Elliott scored from close range after a superb Liverpool attack, but midfielder Yasin Ayari levelled in the 32nd minute.
The hosts went in a goal down at the break after Dominik Szoboszlai scored with a dipping cross-shot that flew over keeper Bart Verbruggen and into the net in first-half stoppage time, but Brighton substitute Kaoru Mitoma equalised in the 69th minute, scoring off the rebound from a Danny Welbeck shot.
Hinshelwood then grabbed the chance to be a hero, coming on in the 84th minute and firing home Matt O'Riley's pass a minute later to leave Brighton in eighth position on 58 points from 37 games, three ahead of Brentford and four in front of Fulham, with Bournemouth a point further back with a game in hand.

Arsenal's Calafiori secures 1-0 win at Manchester United
Arsenal's Riccardo Calafiori headed home an early corner, aided by a weak challenge from goalkeeper Altay Bayindir, to earn a 1-0 victory at Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday, spoiling the hosts' season opener. Despite a cast of new faces, Mikel Arteta's visitors proved they are still lethal from set pieces with Calafiori netting in the 13th minute. Arsenal's William Saliba backed into Turkish keeper Bayindir, who feebly batted the ball with one hand into the path of Italian Calafiori for an easy close-range header. United were otherwise the better team, with close-season signings Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu missing good chances. The home side had Arsenal pinned back for most of the second period and kept keeper David Raya busy, forcing him into a diving save to stop Mbeumo's powerful header. Set-piece specialists Arsenal have scored 31 league goals from corners since the start of the 2023-24 season, at least 11 more than any other team, and three of their last four league goals against United have been from corner kicks.

Premier League: Arsenal's Arteta relieved to escape from Old Trafford with a win
Arsenal's 1-0 victory over Manchester United on Sunday was far from a masterful performance against the better side but manager Mikel Arteta was delighted to escape from Old Trafford with all three points in their Premier League season-opener. Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori took advantage of a weak challenge from Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayindir to head home an early corner and then the London side survived an onslaught of United attacks as they dug in to secure the win. "A big, big result coming into the first game of the season against (United) at Old Trafford," Arteta said after facing a side fielding new signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. "When you feel that they are building something special and momentum with the new signings and they want to kick off the season in a good way and you are able to come away with the win, I'm very happy I'm part of the team." Arteta said his side, which spent nearly 200 million pounds ($266.30 million) in the close season after three consecutive second-place finishes, did a couple of things well on Sunday. "One, to take the set-piece and then react to especially mistakes," he said. "Some of them are necessary, some of them unusual. But the way every single player reacted to that gives us the opportunity to win the game. If not, it's impossible. And that's about how we compete and how much we want to take it." While United were the better team, Arteta said Arsenal winning while not at their best was a reason for confidence. "When you're not at your standards in certain aspects, which today we weren't, being fair, we can still come away and find a way to win the game," he said. "And the team has to find that resilience throughout the season for 10 months in different contexts to be able to do that. "Of course, we have to improve a lot of things and that will happen very soon. But in terms of managing to get that into a very positive result, that's a great way to do it." Arsenal's main close-season signing, Sweden striker Viktor Gyokeres, did not stand out on his Premier League debut and was substituted early in the second half. "But overall, coming away to Manchester United, winning your first game with Arsenal, it's a good start," Arteta said.

Wolves' fans put up an emotional tifo for late star Diogo Jota
Wolverhampton Wanderers turned Molineux into a scene of raw emotion on Saturday, paying an unforgettable tribute to former forward Diogo Jota, who tragically passed away in a car accident in Spain earlier this summer along with his brother, André Silva. Before kick-off, Wolves fans unveiled a spectacular pre-match tifo portraying Jota mid-celebration, accompanied by the words 'We'll remember you when you walk in fields of gold'—a poignant reference to his favourite Sting song, which also played through the stadium. The powerful moment brought his grieving family, present in the stands, to tears. The moving occasion was marked by a minute's silence ahead of the game, followed in the 18th minute—symbolising Jota's former squad number—by a thunderous round of applause that swept across the ground. Jota's wife, Rute Cardoso, attended alongside his parents, while former Wolves captain Rúben Neves and Portugal manager Roberto Martínez also joined the tribute, underlining the deep impact of his passing across the football community. Jota's legacy at Molineux remains immense. Between 2017 and 2020, he scored 44 goals in 131 appearances, helping Wolves secure promotion to the Premier League, achieve back-to-back seventh-place finishes, and enjoy a memorable Europa League campaign. His success at Wolves paved the way for a £41 million transfer to Liverpool, where he continued to shine and add trophies to his career. Fans filled the South Bank with banners, murals, and chants in his honour, while supporter groups have already begun crowdfunding to install permanent memorials around the stadium. As Fields of Gold rang out across Molineux, the atmosphere captured both the heartbreak of his loss and the enduring love of the Wolves faithful for one of their modern icons.
