League Two side Oxford United knock Swansea City out of FA Cup

Kemar Roofe scores a brace as League Two side Oxford United cause an upset in the FA Cup third round by defeating Premier League side Swansea City 3-2.

League Two side Oxford United have caused the biggest upset of the FA Cup third round so far by knocking out Premier League side Swansea City with a 3-2 win at the Kassam Stadium.

Swansea took the lead midway through the first half through Jefferson Montero, who coolly tucked home at the near post after a neat one-two with Bafetimbi Gomis.

It looked as if Swansea would have the advantage at half time, but the hosts were given a penalty just before the break that Liam Sercombe slammed home after Kyle Bartley's rash challenge on Alex MacDonald.

The U's then went in front for the first time shortly after the interval when Kemar Roofe picked out the far corner with a curling shot from 20 yards.

Ten minutes later Oxford's number four made it 3-1 by beating Kristoffer Nordfeldt following a swift counter-attack by the men in yellow.

Swansea got back in it in the 66th minute through Gomis, but they could not find a late equaliser to force a replay, becoming the first Premier League team to exit the competition this season.
