Jack Hinshelwood put Brighton ahead with a header shortly after clearing Yoane Wissa's shot off his own lineTeenager Jack Hinshelwood's first senior goal helped Brighton come from behind to claim victory over Brentford, who lost top scorer Bryan Mbeumo to injury.
The Bees took the lead against the run of play when Mbeumo coolly slotted home a 27th-minute penalty after Jan Paul van Hecke fouled Vitaly Janelt.
But Brighton only trailed for four minutes as Pascal Gross struck a fierce drive past Mark Flekken, before Mbeumo departed with a leg injury shortly afterwards.
Hinshelwood, 18, came to the fore early in the second half as he cleared off the line from Yoane Wissa before heading home Gross' lofted cross to give the hosts only their second Premier League win in nine matches.
