Premier League fans were blown away by Cardiff City star Rubin Colwill after his performance against Aston Villa.
The two sides played in the FA Cup fifth round on Friday night, with a brace from former Real Madrid star Marcos Asensio securing a 2-0 win for The Villains.
Despite Cardiff crashing out before the quarter-finals, they produced an admirable display against Villa, with goalkeeper Ethan Horvath putting in an especially good performance between the sticks. However, it's rising star Colwill who has received the big plaudits online.
