Plymouth Argyle’s remarkable FA Cup journey continues as they prepare to face Manchester City in the fifth round after their stunning victory over Liverpool.
The Championship’s bottom club pulled off a giant-killing act on Sunday, eliminating Arne Slot’s dominant Reds with a hard-fought 1-0 win at Home Park. Ryan Hardie’s composed 53rd-minute penalty sealed the shocking result, handing Liverpool only their fourth defeat of the season.
This historic win dashed Liverpool’s hopes of securing an unprecedented quadruple, marking one of the FA Cup’s biggest upsets in recent history.
Plymouth’s reward is a daunting trip to the Etihad Stadium, where they will take on Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, the reigning Premier League champions.
