Plymouth Argyle pulled off an enormous shock on Sunday as they dumped Liverpool out of the FA Cup at the fourth-round stage with a 1-0 win.
Ryan Hardie’s 53rd-minute penalty after Harvey Elliott’s handball proved to be decisive as Arne Slot’s team lost for only the fourth time this season in all competitions.
Slot rested many of his superstars for the contest — with the likes of Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo not included in the matchday squad — and paid the price, as Plymouth claimed one of the most famous wins in their history while ending Liverpool’s pursuit of an unprecedented quadruple.
Goalkeeper Conor Hazard and center-back Nikola Katić were integral to the rearguard efforts that saw Plymouth over the line, with Hazard making a series of saves in second-half stoppage time that will no doubt live long in the memories of the home fans in attendance at Home Park.
