Arsenal and Swansea must do it all again after drawing 2 - 2 in an exciting FA Cup draw.

The first half was a tepid affair with very few chances but the game came to life when that man Michu deftly chipped Per Mertesacher before coolly slotting the ball under Wojciech Szczesny to make it 1 - 0 just before the hour mark.

But Arsenal were back in it with 10 minutes when Lukas Podolski swivelled in the box and hit a Laurent Koscielny pass into the corner of the net.

And the Gunners took the lead in fantastic style when Kieran Gibbs rifled in a scintillating volley into the roof of the net from a lofted Mikel Arteta pass.

It looked like Arsenal would be leaving the Liberty Stadium with a place in the fourth round.

But Swansea were not finished yet and Danny Graham found the roof of the net after a set-piece fell at his piece inside the penalty area.
