(AP Photo/Ian Walton) BRIGHTON, England (AP) — Substitute Jack Hinshelwood scored with his first touch of the ball and gave Brighton a thrilling 3-2 win over Liverpool on Monday and kept alive its slim chance of European football. If fourth-placed Chelsea wins the Europa Conference League next week, there is a chance that the eighth-placed team in the Premier League can qualify for next season's Conference League. Advertisement Monday's win lifted Brighton into that coveted eighth spot, three points above Brentford, four ahead of Fulham and five clear of Bournemouth. Bournemouth has two games left; the others have one. Liverpool rested several starters but still took the lead after just nine minutes, and in doing so became only the third team in Premier League history to score in every one of its away games. Conor Bradley, in his first start since signing a new four-year contract on Saturday, cut the ball back from the byline for Harvey Elliot to side-foot home. Brighton, though, fought back in an end-to-end encounter. Advertisement Danny Welbeck missed a golden chance after half an hour but Yasin Ayari made no mistake two minutes later to level the score. Liverpool was back in front by the break after Dominik Szoboszlai's memorable cross-cum-shot on the stroke of halftime. Japanese substitute Kaoru Mitoma equalized in the 69th, just four minutes after his introduction. It was his third goal in four games, all of them as a late substitute. Hinshelwood then stole in at the back post to convert Matt O'Riley's low cross and, although the offside flag was raised, the goal was given after a video review. It was a winning introduction for Hinshelwood, who came on alongside his 17-year-old cousin Harry Howell. Howell also made history by becoming Brighton's youngest ever Premier League player. ___ AP soccer:

(AP Photo/Ian Walton) Chelsea advanced to the final of the Conference League after beating Djurgården 1-0 in the second leg of their semifinal encounter on Thursday. The Premier League club advanced 5-1 on aggregate over the Swedish opponent that had reached a semifinal of a European competition for the first time. Advertisement In the final, Chelsea will meet either Fiorentina or Real Betis. Those teams went to extra time tied at 3-3 on aggregate Thursday. At Stamford Bridge, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall collected a through pass from Tyrique George before scoring the winner with a low left-footed shot in the 38th minute. Chelsea remains on course to become the first club to win all major European competition. The Blues have claimed the Champions League (2012, '21), the Europa League (2013, '19), Cup Winners' Cup (1971, '98) and Super Cup (1998, '21). The final takes place May 28 in Wroclaw, Poland. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca used only Marc Cucurella from the team that beat the new Premier League champion Liverpool 3-1 on Sunday. Advertisement Sixteen-year-old midfielder Reggie Walsh was given his first career start and made his presence felt, drawing frequent fouls from the opposition defense. When he was used as substitute in the first leg, he became the third youngest player for Chelsea, the club said. In the second-tier Europa League, Manchester United eliminated Athletic Bilbao on a 7-1 aggregate score after a 4-1 victory at Old Trafford to set up an all English final against Tottenham, which won 2-0 at Bodø/Glimt for a 5-1 overall win. ___ AP soccer:
