Sulemana and Tyler Dibling lit up a freezing cold night for Southampton to hand boss Ivan Juric his new first win.
It was almost more of a shock that the Saints, rockbottom in the Premier League, overcame Championship outfit Swansea with such ease to reach the fourth round.
Despite playing without a recognised striker, Juric's men rattled in three goals, something they have not managed in the league all season.
And Ghana wide man Sulemana, 22, just pipped teenage prospect Dibling to the man of the match honours despite the 18-year-old's two goals.
Scoring his first FA Cup goals doubled his total tally for Southampton, but it was Sulemana who provided the platform with a superb opener and an assist in the first half.
His goal after 20 minutes was a first for the club in 18 months and only his third ever. This match-up, of course, may well be a league fixture next season.
It was just a shame so few were present to witness the display firsthand.
Southampton's reward is a home tie against another Championship side, Burnley.
