Jack Hinshelwood says he "had a feeling" he would score a goal in Brighton's 3-0 win over Chelsea on Tuesday and feels the Seagulls have now "set the standard" for games to come.

The Brighton midfielder told Radio Sussex: "I think we really set the tone early. The early-on goal helped, we filled the pitch with intensity. It carried on throughout the night.

"I think we used frustration from the game on Saturday, we were disappointed.

"I said to my partner and my daughter, who's only 10 months, I said I was going to score today, I just had a feeling. When the first one went by I knew I was getting in the right areas and I just had to keep doing that and I've been doing that the last few weeks and I've been lacking that final touch. When the ball hit the net today it was a nice feeling and a relief.

"We've set the standard now, we can go into each game with great confidence. If we keep the intensity we had today we will have a great chance in all of the games we have left."

Hinshelwood says he will be in attendance at Worthing FC's game against Ebbsfleet Utd to support his dad - Worthing manager Adam Hinshelwood on Saturday.

He added: "For sure I will be there. I think if you told him when he took over at Worthing that if he won the last game of the season, he would get promoted, I think he would have taken it. We need the whole of Sussex to get down there and get behind the team."
