Plymouth Argyle, bottom of the Championship, have defied the odds to eliminate Premier League leaders Liverpool out of the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon.
Liverpool fell to a shock defeat at the hands of Plymouth Argyle as Arne Slot’s side put in a strangely tepid performance where senior men struggled.
Having made the final of the Carabao Cup earlier in the week dispatching Tottenham Hortspur on 4-1 aggregate score, Liverpool were hoping to make another final in just seven days.
Hero Ryan Hardie put Plymouth in front in the second half, converting a stonewall penalty conceded after a Harvey Elliott handball.
Arne Slot’s subbed on Darwin Nunez but nothing changed the course of the tie.
Plymouth keeper Hazard was a late hero after two brilliant saves during the nine minutes of added time, the first from Jota’s half-volley and the second as he tipped over from a point-blank Nunez header.
The victory marks a historic afternoon for Argyle, who will be in the hat for the fifth round of the FA Cup.
