Plymouth Argyle stuns Liverpool 1-0 in FA Cup upset

Plymouth Argyle stunned Premier League leaders Liverpool with a 1-0 victory in the FA Cup, marking a significant upset as the Championship strugglers eliminated a top-flight team. The decisive moment came in the second half when Ryan Hardie converted a penalty following a handball by Liverpool's Harvey Elliott. Liverpool, who made ten changes to their lineup, struggled to create chances despite fielding a strong attacking presence with players like Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz. This defeat ends Liverpool's hopes for a quadruple this season and has raised questions about manager Arne Slot's decision-making. Plymouth's defense, led by Maksym Talovyerov and goalkeeper Conor Hazard, proved resilient against Liverpool's attacks. The victory allows Plymouth to progress to the next round and adds to their recent successes against higher-tier opponents in the competition.
