Plymouth defender makes explicit remark live on ITV after eliminating Liverpool from the FA Cup.

ITV had to apologize for strong language after Plymouth Argyle pulled off a sensational FA Cup upset against Liverpool on Sunday.

The Championship’s bottom-placed side had already shocked Premier League club Brentford in the fourth round and went one step further by defeating the top team in England and Europe at Home Park.

Ryan Hardie’s penalty early in the second half, awarded after Harvey Elliott handled the ball, proved to be the decisive goal. The Pilgrims then defended resolutely, with new loan signing Nikola Katic delivering a standout performance at the heart of their defense. He made an incredible 17 clearances and even lost a tooth during the match, earning the Man of the Match award.

Overcome with excitement, Katic let a few expletives slip in a post-match interview with Gabriel Clarke, exclaiming, “I f***ing love it!” as he stood alongside goalkeeper Conor Hazard. ITV presenter Mark Pougatch quickly apologized for the “industrial language,” though he acknowledged the emotions behind it given Plymouth’s remarkable achievement.

Katic has already endeared himself to Plymouth fans, who celebrated both his performance and his passionate reaction. One fan on X wrote: “Nikola Katic was loaned to Plymouth in January, and he’s already helped them beat Liverpool while telling the cameras he ‘f*ing loved it.’ What a man.”

Despite sitting at the bottom of the Championship with only five wins this season, Plymouth rose to the occasion and etched their name into FA Cup history with an unforgettable

victory.
