Swansea City 4 Brentford 1: James-inspired turnaround books quarter-final berth

A remarkable 17-minute period saw Swansea City score three goals to defeat 10-man Brentford and reach the last eight of the FA Cup.

Daniel James and Bersant Celina inspired Swansea City's second-half comeback as Graham Potter's side defeated 10-man Brentford 4-1 to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Only just over 11,000 were in attendance at Liberty Stadium on Sunday as a section of Swans fans boycotted the fifth-round tie in protest against the club's board.

But those present were treated to an entertaining clash that was turned on its head inside 17 second-half minutes as the home side recovered from falling behind to Ollie Watkins' strike in the opening period.
