Brighton Sets Club Record in Historic Match Against Wolverhampton

Brighton & Hove Albion made a remarkable start in their Premier League Matchweek 36 clash against Wolverhampton, racing to a 2-0 lead within the first five minutes of the match.

As reported by Opta, this is a historic achievement for Brighton, marking the first time the club has scored twice in the opening five minutes of a Premier League match. Notably, Jack Hinshelwood scored the opening goal just 35 seconds after kickoff, setting a new record for Brighton’s fastest-ever Premier League goal.
