Prior to this match, Premier League Swansea City had won five of their last six FA Cup ties against lower league opposition, losing only to Leyton Orient in the 4th round on 29 January 2011. The Swans have now gone ten FA Cup matches without keeping a clean sheet. Gylfi Sigurdsson is sent off in the second minute of added time in the second half.
