Rubin Colwill started Sunday’s Severnside derby on the bench. He began getting stripped off just after the hour, with Cardiff City a goal down. By the time he made it onto the pitch in the 66th minute, Bristol had doubled their lead.
In the 67th minute, Colwill received possession near halfway on the right and immediately chopped a pass between two Bristol players and around another, into the path of the onrushing Mark Harris. He attempted to round Wes Bentley, but the Bristol goalkeeper dived at his feet, stretching out a hand that just about pushed the ball away from danger.
It was the closest Cardiff came to reducing the deficit and finding a way back into the game and it was something out of nothing. All due to Colwill’s instinctive brilliance.
