Swansea Vs Sheffield Wednesday |
"1964 is a long time ago," said Swans boss Carlos Carvalhal. "I know because I was born in 1965. 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. I'm very proud of my players."
In a tie short on quality played out in freezing conditions in south Wales, Jordan Ayew's tap-in after Tom Carroll's fierce drive struck both posts set the Swans on their way before Nathan Dyer sealed victory with a close-range finish with 10 minutes left.
"After scoring the two goals we closed the house," said Carvalhal. "We closed the doors and we closed the windows."
Swansea will host the winner of Wednesday's Wembley replay between Tottenham and League One's bottom club Rochdale in the last eight.
Championship club Sheffield Wednesday have now been eliminated from six of their last away eight FA Cup replays and have failed to score an away goal from open play in 2018.
