Plymouth Argyle Upsets Liverpool 1-0, Ends Quadruple Bid

Plymouth Argyle achieved a stunning upset in the FA Cup by defeating Premier League leaders Liverpool 1-0 in the fourth round, marking one of the biggest upsets in the tournament's history. Ryan Hardie scored the decisive penalty after a handball by Harvey Elliott, leading the last-placed Championship team to their first victory over Liverpool since 1956. Despite Liverpool's strong lineup featuring players like Diogo Jota and Luis Díaz, they failed to score against a resilient Plymouth defense, which was highlighted by goalkeeper Connor Hazard's crucial saves. The loss is a significant disappointment for Liverpool, who are still competing in the Carabao Cup and Champions League, but it marks their exit from the FA Cup this season. This defeat adds to Liverpool's recent struggles with heavily rotated squads, reflecting a need for a more balanced approach in future matches. Plymouth now advances to the fifth round, seeking to continue their magical cup run.
