Holders Portsmouth suffered humiliation as Swansea's Nathan Dyer and Jason Scotland sent them crashing out of the FA Cup with a 2-0 defeat.

On-loan Southampton winger Dyer kept his promise to thrive on the animosity at Fratton Park by playing a crucial role in Pompey's downfall, topped by a glorious 26th-minute opener.

A threat throughout, his strike silenced the jeers that erupted every time the elusive 21-year-old from Pompey's bitter south coast rivals touched the ball.
