A major shock occurred in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Liverpool was unable to overcome one of the Championship's bottom dwellers, Plymouth, and was eliminated from the competition.
The only goal of the match came early in the second half, and despite their efforts, Liverpool could not recover. Interestingly, this marks only the fourth time in history that a Premier League leader has lost to a team from a lower division in the FA Cup. According to the statistical portal Opta Joe, this feat was previously achieved by Leeds (2002), Chelsea (2015), and Manchester City (2018).
Additionally, following today's defeat, Liverpool's chances for a quadruple are now gone, and they will focus on securing a treble. Slot's team continues its campaign in the Champions League, leads the Premier League confidently, and will aim to win their first trophy of the season on March 16. In the final of the League Cup, they will face Newcastle.
