(Add details) Brighton, England, May 19 (Reuters) -Brighton & Hove Albion replacer Jack Hinshelwood hit a late winner, while host came from behind to score a 3-2 victory over champions Liverpool to play their slim hopes to play in Europe next season. Brighton had a chance in the ninth minute to get eighth place and a chance to play European football next season if Chelsea won the conference league, when Harvey Elliott scored from close after an excellent Liverpool attack, but midfielder Yasin Ayari leveled in the 32nd minute. The home team still managed to go to a goal after Dominik Szoboszlai scored with a dumping cross shot that flew in the first half a standstill over the Wagter Bart, but Brighton boss Fabian Huerzeler made the right changes after the break to turn the game into their favor. Japan winger Kaoru Mitoma, which was fitted in the 64th minute, equated four minutes later and looked off with a difficult shot from the setback of a Danny Welbeck attempt. Welbeck wasted a number of chances at night, but with Liverpool who was that he secured the title on April 28, Brighton continued to go to a winner who could qualify for Europe if other results went on their way. The chance offers the chance to become the hero after his introduction to the 84th, 20-year-old Hinshelwood grabbed it with both hands and a minute later shot down the winner of Matt O’Riley’s pace. The goal was initially not allowed for off guard, but a long VAR review followed and it was given to leave Brighton eighth at 58 points from 37 games, three in front of Brentford and four before Fulham, with Bournemouth a point further back with a match in hand.
