Hemmings generated three tackles (two won) in Sunday's 4-0 loss against Brighton.
Analysis:Hemmings was largely limited to defensive work in the season opener as his side struggled to gain control of the match. The winger showed good work rate and pressing intensity but had few opportunities to display his pace and direct running in the final third. After making just two Premier League appearances last season, Hemmings' start Sunday is an encouraging indication that he could take on a larger role during the 2026-27 campaign.
