Neither side had anything to play for at Ashton Gate. But that didn’t stop forward Conway from conning the referee into awarding him a penalty, which he then stepped up for and converted to give his side a first-half lead.
He flung himself to the floor, despite there seeming to be limited contact from opposition goalkeeper Dillon Phillips. A clip of the moment was shared on social media, with various fan reactions poking fun at the dive and criticizing the player and the referee.
There were calls for retrospective bans and talk of the need for fair play in the game. The topic of diving came into focus, as Scotland under-21 international Conway was crowned their young player of the season post-match, and he expressed his gratitude for the recognition from the supporters.
Conway has been linked with a multi-million pound move out of the second tier, with Celtic and Rangers both named in connection with him. His penalty was his 12th goal of the season in all competitions.
