Tottenham remained on course for a first FA Cup success since 1991 following a dominant 3-0 quarter-final victory over Swansea at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday
In the absence of the injured Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen (11) and Erik Lamela (45+1) sent Spurs on their way with superb long-range strikes
Eriksen extended Spurs' advantage in the 62nd minute after some poor defending from Carlos Carvalhal's side, whose focus will now switch back to Premier League survival after the upcoming international break
For Spurs, who are the first name into the hat for Sunday's semi-final draw, they reach the last four for the second successive season for the first time in 36 years as Mauricio Pochettino looks to win his first trophy as Tottenham manager
Spurs' task was helped by an early breakthrough as Swansea stood off Eriksen and the Denmark international punished them, producing a superb strike to beat Kristoffer Nordfeldt
The visitors thought they had a second in the 23rd minute through Heung-min Son but the flag was raised for offside against South Korean forward after he latched onto Eriksen's through ball
 With VAR in use referee Kevin Friend checked in but with replays showing how tight it was, the decision stayed with the on-field official
Pochettino's side did eventually get the second they deserved just before the break
 The Swansea defence stood off again, this time allowing Lamela time and space to pick his spot from the edge of the area
Carvalhal reacted by sending on Luciano Narsingh for Kyle Naughton at the break and they almost found a way back into the game through Martin Olsson then Tammy Abraham, but former Swansea goalkeeper Michel Vorm made a superb double stop to preserve his side's two-goal advantage
Nordfeldt responded with a fine save of his own to deny Eric Dier but he couldn't keep out Eriksen's 62nd-minute strike as Spurs made sure of victory
Dier's cross deflected into the path of Lucas Moura, who laid the ball off for Eriksen, and the Dane's low strike found the bottom corner despite Nordfeldt getting a touch
Not for the first time this season, Eriksen was Tottenham's main man
So often the creative park for Pochettino's side, the Denmark international stepped up in the absence of Kane, grabbing two goals to book his side a spot in a second successive FA Cup semi-final
And once again they were excellent strikes from outside the box
 There's surely no better ball striker in English football with four of Eriksen's last six goals for Tottenham in all competitions coming from outside the box, including each of his last three
Tottenham are next in action on Easter Sunday (April 1) against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and the game is live on 
Swansea's next fixture is in the Premier League when they travel to Manchester United on Saturday, March 31
