Plymouth Argyle manager Miron Muslic has expressed his delight after his side's remarkable 1-0 victory over Premier League leaders Liverpool in the FA Cup.

The result was the biggest upset of the competition so far with the Green Army, who sit at the bottom of the Championship, progressing to the fifth round thanks to Ryan Hardie who gave Plymouth the lead in the second half, confidently converting a penalty after Harvey Elliott's handball.

Since Muslic took over Plymouth at the beginning of the year has been instrumental in guiding the club back to winning ways defeating Brentford in the third round and more recently West Bromwich Albion.

Speaking to BBC Sport after the game, the 42-year-old said that this was the biggest moment of his career but was hopeful for more.

Muslic said: "This is the biggest moment in my career so far. Hopefully, by the summer, I will have another big moment in my career when we stay up.

"It was a magical day for us. Playing in the most famous cup in the world, against Liverpool, it is big already. To win this game is something that will remain forever a part of this club and history and the lads deserve it."

On the club's new signings settling in quickly, Muslic added: "It was never about signing players as soon as possible, it was about signing the right players. We have managed to do that, that was the plan. In the end we deserved to reach the next round.

"We are very much looking forward to the next challenge. Hopefully it can be another home match. The next game is the most important and on Wednesday [against Millwall in the Championship] we have to go again.

"I'm so happy with this penalty [Ryan Hardie] scored today and I will keep this forever in my heart. We have created momentum over the past three weeks and we have to move on.
