Michael Appleton was full of jubilation after his Oxford United side caused a massive upset in the FA Cup on Sunday.

The League Two Us defeated Swansea City 3-2 thanks to a brace from Kemar Roofe in what was a brilliant performance at the Kassam Stadium.

After the triumph, Appleton spoke of the display of his players which saw Oxford through to the fourth round of the cup for the first time since 1998/99.

"I thought the performance was magnificent," the former West Bromwich Albion, Portsmouth, Blackpool and Blackburn Rovers boss said.

"To beat a Premier League team on your own patch is one thing, but the way we did it, the way we passed the ball and the chances we created at times was great.

"We had to dig deep when it was 3-2 but we showed a lot of composure in defence.

"We knew if we stuck to what we do best that we'd get opportunities. We pressed as high as we could and I think it unsettled them at times."
