Sam Bell has had to be patient to get off the mark for Bristol City but his flurry of goals couldn't have come at a better time.
Backing up his winner at Swansea City earlier this month, the 20-year-old broke his Ashton Gate duck in emphatic fashion at the weekend with two goals to help fire his boyhood club into the fifth round of the FA Cup.
His coming-of-age performance in his first start of the season comes in the wake of Antoine Semenyo's departure to Bournemouth. Bell may be three years his junior, but the striker has witnessed first-hand the Ghanaian's progress through the academy following his arrival from the SGS College in 2017 to the Premier League.
