Liverpool leads the Premier League with a margin down to second-placed Arsenal, and has one hand on the trophy.
Plymouth Argyle is fighting with tooth and nail for its survival in The Championship, the second division in the English league system.
Despite this, it was Plymouth that was the stronger team at home on Home Park when the teams clashed in the FA Cup, and knocked Liverpool out of the cup.
"They deserve it"
The foundation for the victory was a penalty, after Liverpool's Harvey Elliott got the ball on his hand. Home team's Ryan Hardie could in the 53rd minute dunk in the match's only goal.
Liverpool, which fielded a rotated team without players like Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk, did what they could to get an equalizer, but without succeeding.
"I can't say that the guys didn't fight today. In such matches, it's often about one opportunity. That opportunity was theirs today and they deserve it", says Liverpool's coach Arne Slot according to AFP.
"We fixed it"
Instead, the home team could wildly celebrate when the referee blew the whistle, and conclude that the major upset was complete.
"We came here with a dream today, and we fixed it", says Plymouth's Ryan Hardie after the match.
In Plymouth, Swedish secret weapon Rami Al-Hajj and former Elfsborg star Michael Baidoo play, but neither of them got any playing time.
