Liverpool's ambition for a quadruple was shattered when they lost 1-0 to Plymouth in the FA Cup, with Ryan Hardie's penalty emerging as the decisive moment. Despite making significant changes to the starting lineup, including resting key players, Liverpool struggled to create opportunities and ultimately had no answers to Plymouth's defense. This defeat marked Liverpool's fourth loss in 38 games under manager Arne Slot and underscored the dangers of underestimating opponents in knockout competitions. Plymouth capitalized on their moment and now progresses to the next round, showcasing the unpredictability and excitement of the FA Cup.
We were not having a very good day. A result like this is the outcome. I can't say the boys didn't fight, both teams barely created a chance and then it was a penalty. In a game like this, it is up to one moment. That moment was for them and they deserve it.
We all came here today with a dream and we have done it.
Yet, the Reds' fringe players did little to make their case for more playing time as they succumbed to one of the FA Cup's great shocks.
hardie kept his cool to drill home the penalty after Harvey Elliott handled Darko Gyabi's flick on 53 minutes.
