'We left it all out there'

Brighton midfielder Jack Hinshelwood has been speaking to BBC Radio Sussex about the 4-1 win over Tottenham on the final day of the season: "It was really nice. As a team, we were a bit disappointed with the first half. We didn't show as much energy and intensity as we like, but in the second half we really came out. We got the four goals."I think we have ended a really positive season in a positive way."On playing more of an attacking role: "I knew I was going to play further forward during the first half and I tried to be as busy as I could. I'm always alive in the box - it's something that I've always liked to do in my game."Today I've got to give credit to the set piece coach, Jonas [Scheuermann], he gave me a specific role from the set-piece, two balls fell to my feet and I managed to put them into the back of the net. So all credit to him as well."On not taking the penalty for his hat-trick: "I know what it's going to look like - like I didn't fancy it! I did put myself forward, I said that I was on a hat-trick and I was more than happy to take it, but Matt O'Riley said he was the taker and we still needed to win the game."At that point, winning the game for the team is more important. So as much as I would've liked to get my hat-trick, it was important we got the win."On finishing eighth this season: "It's a really positive season. I know it's probably tough to take at the minute, and it is tough to take, because we wanted Europe and we fought hard for it."But I don't think we can have any regrets from these past five or six weeks. We left it all out there. We have a great family in the changing room and everyone worked their hardest."We just fell a little short but I think we can just use that for fuel next season. We have great foundations to build on now and I think next season is going to be a really exciting one for sure."Listen to the full post-match interview on BBC Sounds
