Swansea knock out Manchester United from FA Cup


No one would believe it - nor even the mighty Red Devils as they were stunned by the otherwise humble Swans at Old Trafford yesterday.

Yes, the Swans struck hard at the Devils in an otherwise drawn match with 1-1 each in the crucial FA Cup when when Wilfried Bony's 90th minute winner knocked 10-man Manchester United out of the FA Cup.

The victory of the Swans was also their first win ever at the Old Trafford.

The match opened by a goal for the Swans in the 12th minute by Routledge, which was soon equalised in the 16th minute by Red Devil Hernández. From then on till the 90th minute when the whistle was almost blown, came the stunner when Bony struck and a header from him from the centrer of the box to the top left corner won the match for his team 2-1 - leaving the stunned Manchester United not only as the loser but also kicked out of the FA Cup.



It marked a second consecutive defeat for David Moyes's side, who also lost against Tottenham on New Year's Day. They have lost five times at home this season, including four of their last six at Old Trafford.

United last won the FA Cup in 2004 but that wait must continue with the focus now on Tuesday's first leg of the Capital One Cup against Sunderland as Moyes attempts to salvage some silverware in his first season in charge.
