Bournemouth used Swansea to react to a heavy defeat to Liverpool in the Premier League.
Bournemouth issued the perfect response to their 4-0 annihilation by Liverpool last weekend, swatting aside Swansea in the FA Cup fourth on Thursday night.
The Cherries delivered a five-star performance to thrash the Swans 5-0, with five different scorers at the Vitality Stadium to become the first team to make it to the fifth round.

Bournemouth vs Liverpool: Salah who? unstoppable Jota keeps Reds marching towards PL title
Liverpool maintained their grip on top spot in the Premier League with a comprehensive 4-0 win over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.
5-star Cherries learn from Liverpool
The Premier League side was left shellshocked after they were dismantled by the Diogo Jota-inspired league leaders in front of their fans at the Vitality on Sunday.
But that defeat proved to be just a blip as they tore Swansea apart at the same venue to register a perfect return to winning ways.
David Brooks was the star of the encounter after the 26-year-old put in a man-of-the-match display to inspire the Cherries.
Brooks contributed three of the goals after he scored one and provided two assists while star man, Dominic Solanke, was not left out of the show.
The England-born Nigerian striker scored one and assisted another alongside Luis Sinisterra, who tormented the Swans from start to finish to help Bournemouth banish the ghost of the Liverpool loss in emphatic fashion.
After watching his Cherries capitulate the last time at home, manager, Andoni Iraola, would have been delighted to see his side not only win big but also register a clean sheet against the Championship outfit.
It was the ideal reaction he needed from his Cherries after that horror show against Jurgen Klopp’s ambitious Liverpool side.
