( dpa )- Non-league side Havant and Waterlooville earned themselves a prime tie against Liverpool in the English FA Cup after they upset Swansea 4-2 Wednesday in a third-round replay.

The home side , who play in the Blue Square South league, two divisions below League Two, were 3-0 up within 37 minutes and withstood a Swansea fightback to secure a dream trip to Anfield .

An own goal by Garry Monk put them ahead before Jamie Collins (25) and Rocky Baptiste (37) made it 3-0.

Swansea got one back through Guillem Bauza just two minutes later, and they should have been within one goal but for a Leon Britton penalty to be saved.

Jason Scotland reduced the deficit to 3-2 just three minutes after the break, but a header from Tom Jordan with 25 minutes to go secured a famous victory.

In other replays, Newcastle United, with new manager Kevin Keegan watching in the stands, booked their place in round four with a 4-1 win over Stoke City despite the 29th-minute sending-off of Emre .

Michael Owen put them ahead, and Claudio Cacapa , James Milner and Damien Duff completed the scoring for the home side, who announced the return of Keegan earlier Wednesday.

A header from Brazilian Elano 18 minutes from time gave Manchester City a 1-0 win over West Ham United, while Hereford United beat Tranmere Rovers 1-0.
