New Delhi: Since succeeding Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, Arne Slot faced his first setback and as the Reds became the fourth team a Premier League table topper suffered a loss at the hands of the lower-placed side in the FA Cup. It was a reawakening for Liverpool who would have thought that they were going to cruise at Home Park on Sunday. Plymouth have squashed Liverpool’s hope of a quadruple and this was a different team than the one that greeted them last time under Klopp.

FA Cup has time again proven that it shouldn’t be played fast and this was the reason that the bottom-most team from the Championship table was able to beat the Premier League’s top side, who were on a winning point until then. For many, Slot tried too many tricks though the Dutch manager will admit that he has been able to lead his side to the EFL Cup final.

They will finally play the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park and a win there would give them a big gap from the second-placed Arsenal. However, they still will look back at the game knowing they made some........
