Sheffield United FC 0-3 Swansea City FC
The magic that is the FA Cup hit home right here in Swansea with the local team, the Swansea City Swans, staging one of the biggest upsets in their club's history against Premier League team Sheffield United. The Swans, who sit 7th in the League 1 table, 34 places below Sheffield United in the overall standings of British football. They travelled to Sheffield United's Bramall Lane stadium (over 5hrs away) along with 5,000 fans from here in Swansea in the hopes of winning, but knew it would be a tall task. They came away the better team on the day, thoroughly outclassing Sheffield United and now await the draw for their FA Cup 4th Round opponent.
Come on you Swans!
