In a stunning FA Cup upset, Championship side Plymouth Argyle eliminated Premier League leaders Liverpool.
On Sunday afternoon, Plymouth hosted Liverpool, who have been dominant in the Premier League this season.
Despite making several changes to their lineup, including appearances from Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, and Darwin Nunez, Liverpool struggled against a determined Plymouth team.
The match’s pivotal moment came just after the hour mark when Harvey Elliott handled the ball in his own penalty area.
Plymouth’s Ryan Hardie converted the resulting penalty, sending the home crowd into a frenzy.
Liverpool pressed for an equalizer but were thwarted by Plymouth’s defense, particularly Nikola Katic, who delivered an exceptional performance.
This victory is historic for Plymouth, as it marks their first win over Liverpool since 1956, when they triumphed 4-0 in the second tier.
