Plymouth Argyle celebrated a "magical day" as the team bottom of the Championship beat Premier League leaders Liverpool in the FA Cup.

Argyle, who have improved under manager Miron Muslic, have only won one league game in three months - while Liverpool were aiming for the quadruple.



But, against a weakened Reds team, Ryan Hardie's penalty sent the Pilgrims through to round five.



Muslic told the BBC: "It was a magical day for us.

We have picked 10 classic shocks below - and you can vote for the biggest one.

One of the most iconic shocks ever - and the earliest one on the list.

It was such a strange experience."

Division Two Sunderland created a major shock by beating holders Leeds United in the 1973 final.



Don Revie's 'Mighty Whites' were overwhelming favourites to lift the cup at Wembley, with some saying the odds were 250-1 on a Sunderland win.

But a single goal by Ian Porterfield - and Jimmy Montgomery's stunning double save - secured victory for the underdogs.

That remains their most recent trophy - and the team were given the freedom of the city in 2022.

Coventry were a top-flight side who had won the FA Cup two years earlier.

Sutton United were non-league, in the GM Vauxhall Conference, and took the lead through Tony Rains' header.

David Phillips equalised for Coventry before Matthew Hanlan scored the winner from a corner.

"To get up and go to work on the Monday morning was a bit of a chore," Hanlan told BBC Sport in 2017.

"I was working as a bricklayer and the monotony was broken up by a couple more papers turning up on site.

"At midday we got a call to go home and I then found out the BBC had called and I was required to go on Terry Wogan's show that evening.

"I wouldn't swap a long career in the professional game for the recognition and accolade you get from scoring just one goal - and being part of a team which did something."

Arsenal were second in the entire Football League system and Wrexham were bottom of it when the sides met in January 1992.

"When the draw was made I remember thinking 'that's it, that's the end of our run'," said Wrexham's Mickey Thomas.

"You look for shocks, but when that draw was made I wasn't confident."

Alan Smith gave the English champions the lead but Thomas scored a fantastic free-kick to equalise and Steve Watkin netted the winner.

A huge FA Cup shock and one of the competition's greatest ever storylines.

Third-tier side Wycombe had seven forwards ruled out for their FA Cup quarter-final with top-flight Leicester.

So boss Lawrie Sanchez got the club to get an appeal out - that went on Ceefax - saying they were looking for a striker for this one game.

They had one call - from the agent of Northern Irishman Roy Essandoh, who was at non-league Rushden & Diamonds on a short-term basis after leaving Finnish side VPS.

With the score at 1-1 he came off the bench and headed in a 90th-minute winner to send the club into the semi-finals.

That would be the only goal he would ever score for a Football League club in his career.

Jose Mourinho's Chelsea were still in the running for a quadruple - and took a 2-0 lead against League One Bradford City (with a goal assisted by Mohamed Salah).



But Jon Stead, ex-Blues youngster Filipe Morais, Andy Halliday and Mark Yeates turned it around for a famous win.

Ex-England striker Robbie Fowler called it the "biggest shock" ever in the FA Cup afterwards.

Lincoln became the first non-league side in 103 years to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals with a dramatic last-minute win over Premier League side Burnley at Turf Moor.

Sean Raggett headed in the famous, late winner - with Lincoln admitting the goal might not have stood in the National League without goalline technology.

Imps boss Danny Cowley said: "It was a one in 100 chance and thankfully we got that opportunity.

"It's a football miracle for a non-league team to be in the last eight."

League Two Newport County stunned Premier League side Leicester, who just two years earlier were champions of England, with a win at Rodney Parade.

Padraig Amond scored a late penalty winner after Jamille Matt had given the underdogs the lead and Rachid Ghezzal levelled.

"It's almost Roy of the Rovers stuff.

It's the first time I've beaten a Premier League club as a manager so it's one I'll never forget," boss Michael Flynn told BBC Sport.

League Two Grimsby Town stunned Premier League Southampton with Gavan Holohan scoring a penalty in each half.

Duje Caleta-Car pulled one back and Theo Walcott had a late equaliser ruled out for offside.

The result took the Mariners - who had been promoted out of non-league the previous season - into their first quarter-final in 84 years.

"I'm in shock," boss Paul Hurst, whose side were 16th in the table, told BBC Radio 5 Live.
