'Whole of Cardiff City on strings' - Bristol City and Swansea City unite in praise of colossus Ashley Williams

It is fair to say Ashley Williams' colossal performance for Bristol City against Cardiff City has caught the eye of numerous fanbase.

Whilst Robins supporters were understandably delighted to see the 35-year-old in inspirational form to marshal the defence to a 1-0 victory over their Severnside rivals, Wales and Swansea City fans were watching on with vested interest.

With an international break on the horizon, Wales fans were keen to see how their captain is currently performing, whilst Swans supporters wanted to see their former favourite excel at the home of their fierce rivals.

It is fair to say both sets of supporters - along with Robins fans - were impressed.
