Plymouth winger Callum Wright admits it is a dream to play for Liverpool and win as a Reds fan.
The Championship club were the big surprise in this season’s FA Cup, knocking out Premier League leaders Liverpool with a Ryan Hardy penalty win, while they also saw off top-flight side Brentford in the previous round.
The hosts took their chance after the referee pointed to หากคุณสนใจเล่นพนันออนไลน์ที่ดีที่สุด สามารถสมัครสมาชิก UFABET ได้ที่นี่ พร้อมรับโปรโมชั่นพิเศษสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ the penalty spot, with Ryan Hardie converting before a stubborn defence protected their lead until the final whistle.
It is not a day that Reds will fondly remember, but it is a different story entirely for Plymouth’s players after becoming only the fourth team to beat Liverpool this season.
For goalscorer Hardie, he also took a souvenir from the match having secured the shirt of fellow No. 9 Darwin Nunez – which he looked very pleased with.
Speaking after the match, he said: “It’s going to be one that will go on my wall. One of the greatest shirts that I’ve got. Obviously, he’s a fantastic player and to get the No. 9 shirt is a good swap for me.”
“It was a great unity. Liverpool couldn’t penetrate us at all.”
Speaking about the team’s defense, “It’s very strong. The boss brought them (Nikola Katic and Maksim Talovyarov) in to strengthen us until the end of the season and they delivered.”
“I started off nervous, but once we were 1-0 up, we weren’t scared anymore,”
Speaking about his own Liverpool fandom, Wright said: “It’s crazy. It’s a dream come true to play against them and beat them.”
For Liverpool, the focus now zeroes in on the all-important Merseyside derby on Wednesday night. Where a win would make this cup match a distant memory.
