Tammy Abraham-inspired Swansea hammer Notts County 8-1 in FA Cup clash

By Daily Sports on February 7, 2018

Swansea City ruthlessly demolished League Two Notts County 8-1 to seal their passage to the fifth round of the FA Cup in emphatic fashion.

Tammy Abraham scored his first goal since October to put the dominant hosts ahead and 90 seconds later his through ball set up Nathan Dyer to double their lead.

Dyer added a third with a sweet first-time strike and, although Noor Husin responded for the visitors with a powerful hit, Abraham finished a fine team move to give Swansea a 4-1 half-time lead.

The procession continued after the break with goals from Kyle Naughton, Wayne Routledge and Tom Carroll - whose beautiful curling effort was the pick of the bunch - as well as a memorable debut strike for Daniel James.

Swansea's biggest margin of victory at the Liberty Stadium sets up a fifth-round tie away against manager Carlos Carvalhal's former side Sheffield Wednesday.

Swansea's priority this season is undoubtedly trying to secure top-flight survival but, given their favourable draw, Carvalhal and his players may be forgiven for thinking they could make an improbable appearance at Wembley.

When the Portuguese was appointed in December, the Swans were bottom of the Premier League table and appeared destined for relegation.

And although they are not safe yet, a run of just one defeat in nine games under Carvalhal has seen Swansea climb out of the bottom three and transformed the mood at the Liberty Stadium.

Their priorities were clear with seven changes from Saturday's league draw at Leicester, though that did not stop them producing a vibrant attacking display against Notts County on Tuesday.
