Swansea City reached the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time in 54 years with a 2-0 win over second-tier Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday as goals from Jordan Ayew and Nathan Dyer settled an attritional fifth round replay. Swansea last reached the sixth round of the competition in 1964, when they were known as Swansea Town. “1964 is a long time ago, I know because I was born in ‘65,” Swansea’s Portuguese manager Carvalhal told the BBC. “Swansea have now made the best path in the Cup since then so it’s a little part of history and we are happy about that. As Wednesday pushed forward, space opened up for Swansea and Dyer made the game safe.
