Plymouth Argyle celebrated a “magical day” as the team bottom of the Championship beat Premier League leaders Liverpool in the FA Cup.<\/b><\/p>\n

Argyle, who have improved under manager Miron Muslic, have only won one league game in three months – while Liverpool were aiming for the quadruple.<\/p>\n

But, against a weakened Reds team, Ryan Hardie’s penalty sent the Pilgrims through<\/a> to round five.<\/p>\n

Muslic told the BBC: “It was a magical day for us. Playing in the most famous cup in the world, against Liverpool, it is big already. <\/p>\n

“To win this game is something that will remain forever a part of this club and history, and the lads deserve it.”<\/p>\n

Plymouth were the first side from outside of the Premier League to eliminate the team leading the top flight since Wigan toppled Manchester City in February 2018. <\/p>\n

It was the first time Liverpool have been knocked out by a lower-league opponent while leading the table since January 1984, against Brighton.<\/p>\n

Hardie added: “We have written ourselves in Argyle’s history. It’s the biggest team in the world at the minute, it will go down in the club’s history.”<\/p>\n

But where does it rank amongst some of the all-time FA Cup upsets? We have picked 10 classic shocks below – and you can vote for the biggest one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
