My Perfect Cousin, Hinshelwood and Howell Help Brighton Down Liverpool
Jack Hinshelwood credited his cousin Harry Howell for creating space for him to score the winning goal as Brighton & Hove Albion downed English champions Liverpool on Monday.
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.

Sancho to Return to Man United After Chelsea Decides Not to Make Loan Deal Permanent
Jadon Sancho is set to return to Manchester United after confirming his exit from Chelsea after a season-long loan spell. The 25-year-old England winger sent a post on social media late Tuesday, saying he was "grateful for the experience" at Chelsea. "Big love to everyone at Chelsea who made me feel at home — teammates, staff and the fans," Sancho wrote. "Wishing the club all the best moving forward. Truly grateful, thank you Blues." Chelsea will have to pay a fee of five million pounds ($6.75 million) to opt out of its obligation to buy Sancho outright for 25 million pounds ($34 million) as part of the terms of his loan deal announced in August last year. Sancho left United after falling out with then-manager Erik ten Hag and had not been expected to return. Ten Hag left the club in October. Sancho joined United from Borussia Dortmund for 85 million euros ($100 million) in 2021. He scored one of Chelsea's goals in its 4-1 win over Real Betis in the Conference League final last week.
