Aston Villa crashed out of the FA Cup in the Third Round on Saturday afternoon as they were hammered 3-0 by Swansea City at Villa Park.

The Swans raced into an early lead as Courtney Baker-Richardson bundled the ball home from close range, giving Graham Potter’s side a platform to build on away from home.

Nathan Dyer turned home a second from an inch-perfect Leroy Fer pass, before Jay Fulton tucked in a third to send Swansea into the Fourth Round of the competition.

It was a disappointing display from Villa, who didn’t really turn up and offered a fairly drab display, but there was at least one thing to cheer on Saturday afternoon.

Striker Keinan Davis came on as a 72nd minute substitute for Scott Hogan, finally making his first appearance of the season after a lengthy, frustrating absence.

Davis has been out since the 17th of March with injury, and after nearly 10 months sat on the sidelines, he finally made his return on Saturday afternoon.

He may not be a Tammy Abraham replacement, but Davis is big, physical and could provide Dean Smith with a major attacking boost in the second half of the season.

After the game, Davis took to Twitter to share his happiness at finally playing at Villa Park for the first time this season, even if the result wasn’t what he wanted.
