On Sunday evening, one of the last matches of the third stage of the English Football Association Cup was played.
At "Old Trafford" stadium, the players of "Manchester United" coached by David Moyes met with the team of Michael Laudrup's "Swansea City".
To the disappointment of the spectators, the "Swans" took the lead - Wayne Routledge scored the first goal after a pass from Alejandro Pozuelo.
Soon after, the "Red Devils" equalized in this match after a precise shot by Javier Hernandez.
In the second half, the hosts controlled the game and tried to take the lead, until the 80th minute when Fabio was sent off the field after appearing as a substitute.
After this incident, Laudrup's team's chances of winning the match increased, so the "Swansea City" team took the initiative as the match approached its end.
The visitors managed to exploit their numerical advantage, and after a pass from W. Routledge from the side, Wilfried Bony scored a header.
After this goal, the "Man Utd" players could not recover and were forced to withdraw from further fight for the prestigious trophy.
