Premier League struggler Swansea was humbled in a 3-2 loss against fourth-tier Oxford on Sunday for the first big shock in the third round of the FA Cup. The Blues endured a third-round humiliation at the hands of lower-league opposition in Bradford last season but had no problems 12 months on, beating Scunthorpe 2-0 through goals by Diego Costa and Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Apart from Swansea four Premier League teams were eliminated on Saturday, but only after losing to fellow top-flight sides. Chelsea remained unbeaten under Guus Hiddink, who took over until the end of the season after Jose Mourinho's firing last month, but it wasn't a convincing performance by the seven-time FA Cup winners. Under pressure from two defenders, Costa turned in Branislav Ivanovic's right-wing cross for the 13th-minute opener. Loftus-Cheek, a halftime substitute, ended Scunthorpe's resistance in the 68th. Hiddink guided Chelsea to the FA Cup title in 2009, also as an interim manager. Wayne Rooney scored a last-minute penalty as Premier League giants Manchester United labored past Sheffield United 1-0 at Old Trafford to reach the fourth round of FA Cup.

On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment
