Swansea City hold Arsenal to 2-2 FA Cup draw
SWANSEA City drew 2-2 with Arsenal in the FA Cup as Danny Graham struck his third goal in as many games to force a replay.
It was also the striker's second late leveller in five days, coming after he pounced to equalise in injury-time against Aston Villa on New Year's Day.

Danny Graham scored Swansea City's equaliser in the FA Cup tie against Arsenal
After an uneventful first half, Swansea took the lead through Michu just before the hour.
The Spanish forward chipped the ball over Per Mertesacker's head and finished low past Wojciech Szczesny just 110 seconds after being introduced from the bench.

Having gone in front Swansea sat back.
Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott both missed chances before Lukas Podolski hit back for Arsenal seven minutes from time.
He turned neatly in the area before finding the bottom corner, and worse was to come for Swansea.
The game had barely restarted when Kieran Gibbs was left alone in the area to volley into the roof of the net.
Swansea looked to be heading out of the cup until Ki Sung Yueng found Graham following a corner and the former Watford man side-footed past Szczesny.

“Arsene Wenger claims definite penalty on ramsey. Amazing what he can see when he wants to. Ramsey tripped over his own feet, sums up his season really.”

“Well three goals in 3 games for danny. Looks like he has let the recent results do the talking.
Dropping 2 goals in two minutes gifted arsenal the draw to be honest. But if we play our A team from the start, hopefully we can get a result next week.
Was a good game though and yes I was there!”
