Swansea City vs Bristol City LIVE: FA Cup result, final score and reaction
Swansea 1-2 Bristol City (aet): Sam Bell struck in the 112th minute to see the Robins through
Sam Bell scored a superb winner nine minutes from the end of extra time to book Bristol City a place in the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 2-1 win at Swansea City.
The Robins substitute cut in from the left and fired past goalkeeper Andy Fisher to settle the replay and reward his club with a home tie against West Brom. It was 20-year-old Bell’s first senior goal for the club.
Mark Sykes’ third goal in two games had put Bristol City ahead against the run of play with a composed finish after a slick move just past the hour, but Swans substitute Ollie Cooper levelled the scores in the 73rd minute, seconds after coming on.
Swansea pressed hard for a second equaliser following Bell’s effort, but Kyle Naughton flashed a shot inches wide as the Swans’ cup dreams ended.
