Mark Sykes opened the scoring having claimed his first Bristol City goals in last Saturday's win over BirminghamBristol City progressed to round four of the FA Cup as Sam Bell's extra-time goal secured a 2-1 replay victory at Swansea City.
Mark Sykes steered Bristol City in front only for Ollie Cooper to set up the additional 30 minutes when he scored with his first touch.
Swansea had chances to triumph, but it was academy-product Bell's night.
The 20-year-old ran from near halfway to score a memorable first senior goal for his home-city club.
Bell's intervention a second successive win for Bristol City, a welcome boost after a run of just one victory in 12 matches in all competitions.
The Robins are also unbeaten in five games, while Swansea's inconsistent form continues.
The Welsh side had lost only once in four games before this - against Championship leaders Burnley - but saw any hope of a cup run wiped out as they failed to take their chances.
While Swansea's focus for the rest of the season will be on pushing for a Championship play-off place, Bristol City can look forward to a home cup tie against West Bromwich Albion later this month.
