Wilfried Bony's late header condemned 10-man Manchester United to their second straight home defeat and put Swansea through to the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Bony struck in the 90th minute with a header from Wayne Routledge's cross, shortly after United defender Fabio had been shown a straight red card for a high tackle on Jose Canas.
