FA Cup third round: Wednesday night's replays - in pictures
Arsenal start the brighter of the two sides.

Midway through the first half Kyle Bartley, seen here going for a header with Olivier Giroud, is seven yards from goal, when he meets a Wayne Routledge cross but he can't keep his header down and it thuds against the barPhotograph: Jan Kruger/Getty ImagesTheo Walcott takes a breather on a cold, cold night at the EmiratesPhotograph: Ian Kington/AFP/Getty Images
Thomas Vermaelen whips a free-kick over the Swansea wallPhotograph: Ian Kington/AFP/Getty ImagesArsenal again are the dominant side in the second half with Jack Wilshere instumental in much of the Gunners' penetrative playPhotograph: Alastair Grant/APJust past the hour mark Vorm saves Wilshere's shot and the ball falls to Theo Walcott who attempts to stab the ball home but Danny Graham gets in the way and blocks the ball on the line. Arsenal appeal for handball but replays show that referee Mark Clattenburg got the decision spot on as the ball struck Graham's chestPhotograph: Jan Kruger/Getty ImagesWith five minutes to go Arsenal finally get the goal that they've been threatening for much of the game. Santi Cazorla plays a lovely ball through to Giroud on the edge of the area who plays a deft flick back to Wilshere and the youngster leathers the ball past Michel Vorm and in to the net. Final score 1-0Photograph: Kerim Okten/EPAOver at Old Trafford it has taken just nine minutes for the first goal of the game to appear. The returning Wayne Rooney slides in to guide Javier Hernández's cross into the netPhotograph: Chris Brunskill/Getty ImagesRooney dedicates his goal to Coleen's sister Rosie who died recently Photograph: Chris Brunskill/Getty ImagesNani tussles with Mohamed DiarraPhotograph: John Peters/Man Utd via Getty ImagesJordan Spence tugs back Javier HernandezPhotograph: Jon Super/APWest Ham's Gary O'Neil keeps an eye on Ryan Giggs, who has been instrumental in the majority of United's attacking play Photograph: Martin Rickett/PAThe home side continue to push forward and Jussi Jaaskelainen denies United a second courtesy of Javier Hernandez Photograph: John Peters/Man Utd via Getty ImagesThe West Ham players plead with referee Winston Reid after he points to the spot after Ryan Giggs' cross hit Spence's outstretched hand, it's a very harsh decision. There is poetic justice a minute later when Wayne Rooney scoops the ball way over the barPhotograph: John Peters/Man Utd via Getty ImagesIn the dying minutes, Paul Scholes, who's only been on the pitch for 12 minutes puts in a typical Scholesy tackle on Matthew Taylor. It was full-bloodied, late and wild with Taylor ending up in a heap on the turf. Scholes ends up with a yellow card but it could easily have been red. Final score 1-0Photograph: Jon Super/APMeanwhile in the Premier League - there's a double dose of despair for Chelsea as just hours after Pep Guardiola snubs Stamford Bridge for Bayern Munich, the Blues throw away a two goal lead at home to draw 2-2 with Southampton Photograph: Andy Rain/EPA
