Liverpool will face Plymouth in FA Cup third round after Pilgrims see off Newport County in extra time

Plymouth Argyle have hit the FA Cup jackpot and booked a third-round date with Liverpool after beating Newport 1-0 after extra time at Rodney Parade.

The Pilgrims edged the second-round replay in South Wales on Wednesday thanks to a Graham Carey penalty in the 113th minute, after Paul Garita had earlier missed from the spot for Argyle.

Their reward is a lucrative trip to Anfield on January 8 to face Jurgen Klopp's men, who currently sit second in the Premier League.
