Swansea City knocked Brentford out of the FA Cup today.
Swansea City are into the last eight of the FA Cup after hammering Brentford 4-1 at the Liberty Stadium this afternoon.

Ezri Konsa was sent off just a matter of minutes later, with Bersant Celina scoring soon after, and George Byers made it 4-1 late in the day.
Swansea will have hopes of heading into the semi-finals, and winger James should play a key role for Graham Potter’s side.
James, 21, saw a deadline day move to Leeds United fall through, as reported by the Yorkshire Evening Post, and it remains to be seen whether the Whites come back with a new bid this summer.
