Swansea City 2 Sheffield Wednesday 0: Ayew and Dyer see Swans into quarters

Swansea won a third consecutive FA Cup replay as second-half goals from Jordan Ayew and Nathan Dyer put paid to Sheffield Wednesday.

Jordan Ayew came off the bench to help Swansea City past injury-hit Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 and into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

Following a goalless initial encounter at Hillsborough, Tuesday's return was another cagey encounter and Swansea boss Carlos Carvalhal saw his Premier League side create little of note during the first half versus his former employers.

But Swansea's top scorer Ayew came on at the interval and poached his ninth of the season before Nathan Dyer quashed Wednesday's dwindling hopes 10 minutes from time.
