Non-League Horsham Town's FA Cup dreams were shattered by a 6-2 drubbing by Swansea City in the second round replay at the Liberty Stadium.
Horsham lead twice before Swansea romped to victory to set-up a third round clash with Blue Square South side Havant & Waterlooville.
In a frenetic first-half, the visitors took the lead on 20 minutes when Lee Farrell raced onto a through ball and lobbed keeper Dorus De Vries.
League One leaders Swansea hit back 90 seconds later when Jason Scotland threaded the ball through to Darren Pratley, who side-footed home.
But the part-timers, who held the Swans 1-1 at Atspeed Stadium ten days ago, regained the lead a minute later when Farrell pounced on a blunder from keeper De Vries to slot the ball in.
Seven minutes before the break, the Welsh side were back on level terms thanks to Leon Britton's finish from close range.
Another close range strike from Scotland put the Swans 3-2 ahead before Ferry Bodde headed in their fourth a minute later.
The Ryman League Premier Division fell further behind in the second half when Andy Robinson finished off a sweeping move on 56 minutes to make it 5-2.
Warren Fenny sealed the rout for Roberto Martinez's side 11 minutes from time with a low shot.
