Howell becomes Brighton's youngest PL player

Brighton wrote plenty of headlines last night during their 3-2 comeback win over champions Liverpool - and teenage substitute Harry Howell was a central figure.

The 17-year-old came off the bench with six minutes of normal time remaining, along with his cousin Jack Hinshelwood, who almost immediately scored the Seagulls' matchwinner to seal a 3-2 victory over Arne Slot's Reds.

Coming on with a family member was a remarkable introduction to the top flight for Howell, who at 17 years and one month also became the youngest-ever player to represent Brighton in the Premier League.

The England youth international broke Evan Ferguson's previous record for the youngest Premier League Seagull, while also pushing his cousin Hinshelwood down to fourth on the list.
