Swansea 2-2 Arsenal
FA Cup - Sunday, January 6, 2013

Danny Graham scored his third goal in as many games to earn the Swans a replay in a pulsating FA Cup third round tie at the Liberty.
After a goalless first half in which the home side had the better chances, Michael Laudrup's men took the lead with just under an hour played as substitute Michu turned Per Mertesacker before firing past Wojciech Szczesny.
But the visitors came back and levelled the tie when Lukas Podolski turned home a loose ball in the box, before they grabbed a second just two minutes later through Keiran Gibbs's stunning volley.
However, the Swans were not to be denied as Graham smashed home with three minutes to play to continue his good run of form.
