Swansea, Ousts Sheffield Wednesday, Reaches First FA Cup Quarterfinal

Swansea beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 in their FA Cup fifth-round replay on Tuesday night to progress into the quarterfinals for the first time in their history.

A tap in from Jordan Ayew after he was brought on at half time following a below par first half performance from the Swans and a late strike from Nathan Dyer sealed their spot in the next round of the competition.

There were very few chances in the first half but Sheffield Wednesday had the best opportunity after half an hour. Jacob Butterfield had a powerful drive from the edge of the penalty area but the on loan Derby midfielder's shot was acrobatically parried away by Kristoffer Nordfeldt.
