Plymouth Argyle head coach Miron Muslic was lost for words after his struggling second-tier side knocked out Premier League leaders Liverpool from the English FA Cup fourth round with a 1-0 win.
Liverpool's hopes of a Quadruple were dashed at Home Park by Plymouth after Ryan Hardie converted a 53rd-minute penalty following a Harvey Elliott handball.
Plymouth had also stunned Premier League side Brentford in the previous round.
"I'm speechless, and normally they tell me I'm eloquent! It's a big moment, day for us," Muslic said. "Another chapter in Argyle's history... The lads did it fantastic. It's a magical day for us."
Plymouth are looking to avoid relegation from the Championship. They host 14th-placed Millwall tomorrow.
"We are now part of Argyle history... but don't forget we have to go again on Wednesday," the Bosnian said.
Liverpool boss Arne Slot said his side's shock exit was a setback.
Slot paid a heavy price for making wholesale changes, with only goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher retained from the side that thrashed Tottenham 4-0 last week to reach the League Cup final. Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk lwere eft out entirely.
"It hurts everyone that is involved with Liverpool - fans, me players... that's a setback," Slot said.
Elsewhere, Jacob Ramsey struck inside the first minute and Morgan Rogers added a second-half goal as Aston Villa knocked out visitors Tottenham with a 2-1 win.
