Championship side Swansea City dumped FA Cup holders Portsmouth out of the competition thanks to first half goals from Nathan Dyer and Jason Scotland.

Dyer, on loan from Pompey's arch rivals Southampton, put the Swans in front on 26 minutes firing low past David James.

Scotland doubled the lead from the spot on the stroke of half time after Jordi Gomez was up-ended by Nadir Belhadj.

Swans keeper Dimi Konstantopoulos had to pull off a string of fine saves to keep out the Premier League side.
