Plymouth Argyle delivered a jaw-dropping FA Cup upset on Sunday, defeating Premier League giants Liverpool 1-0 in a match that will be remembered for years.

But while the entire squad gave their all, one player quite literally left a piece of himself on the pitch—defender Nikola Katic.

Katic Loses a Tooth in the Heat of Battle

During a tense moment in the match, Katic took an accidental elbow from a teammate while defending a cross into the box.

The impact was brutal, costing him a tooth and leaving him briefly sprawled on the ground as the medical team rushed in to assess him.

However, instead of sympathy, his manager Miron Muslic was seen chuckling on the sidelines—perhaps knowing that Katic is the type of player who wouldn’t let something like that slow him down.

No Pain, No Problem

True to his tough reputation, Katic wasn’t about to let a missing tooth stop him.

He shook it off, completed the full 90 minutes, and played a crucial role in securing Plymouth’s famous win.

Even after the game, he remained unfazed, delivering an emotional and passionate interview.

“I fg love it, I fg love it,” Katic told ITV1, still buzzing from the victory.

“This is why I came here. It’s good to get confidence from this win.

We stuck to our defensive structure, gave 100 percent, and did exactly what the coach asked of us. That’s it.”

Plymouth Crushes Liverpool’s Quadruple Hopes

Plymouth’s victory officially ended Liverpool’s dreams of achieving a quadruple this season.

Manager Arne Slot had clearly made his priorities clear with his team selection, leaving out key players like Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk.

Even so, nothing should take away from the resilience and determination shown by Plymouth, who proved that in football, anything is possible.

For Nikola Katic, a missing tooth was a small price to pay for a win that will go down in history.
