Wilfried Bony scores an injury-time winner as Swansea City beat Manchester United in the FA Cup.

Swansea City have progressed to the fourth round of the FA Cup with a dramatic late win against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The home side had an early chance with only 11 minutes played, but Javier Hernandez miscued his shot from the middle of the area.

However, it was Swansea who grabbed the lead as Wayne Routledge lobbed Anders Lindegaard after collecting a through-ball from Pozuelo.

The Red Devils were level just five minutes later. Alexander Buttner sent in a cross and Hernandez side-footed the ball in from four yards.

With the first half coming to an end, Hernandez was unable to guide his volley in, dragging it just wide of the post.

Antonio Valencia then smashed over from outside the box after good build-up play from Danny Welbeck.

The second half began with both sides struggling to create a clear opening. Pozuelo fired wide, before Wilfried Bony turned away from Tom Cleverley and flashed his 25-yard shot off-target.

The home side were reduced to 10 men when Fabio da Silva was shown a red card for a high tackle on Jose Canas moments after coming on.

Bony then missed a header as Swansea pushed for a winner. However, with time running out, the striker rose highest to head home Routledge's cross.
