Accrington vs Argyle Live: Pilgrims clinch important away win (Plymouth Live)

Former Accrington midfielder Matt Butcher and substitute Conor Grant were on target in the 2-0 victory.

Accrington are really putting Argyle to the test defensively with a lot of balls played into their box. Argyle had 52 per cent of the possession, with 12 goal attempts, six of them on target. Accrington might be down to 10 players but they have certainly noit given up. What a return to action foir Grant. Accrington had 10 goal attempts, with three of them on target. The foul which led to that Argyle free-kick I mentioned in the last post was committed by Mo Sangare on Bali Mumba and resulted in a yellow card for the Accrington defender.

Callum Burton is alert to the danger as Accrington's Tommy Leigh puts in a cross with the outside of his boot and the Argyle keeper safely gathers the ball. Mayor does keep the ball in play and gets in a cross which is headed wide of the near post by Matt Butcher. Against the run of play Argyle have a second goal as Danny Mayor plays the ball outside to the overlapping Conor Grant and he drills a low shot past Toby Savin into the net. Goals from Matt Butcher and the fit-again Conor Grant secure a seventh away League One win of the season but credit to 10-man Accrington for pushing them so hard in the second half. That means the Pilgrims return to the top of the table, by a point from Wednesday.

A deflected Matt Butcher strike and a late Conor Grant goal sent Plymouth Argyle top of League One after a 2-0 win over 10-man Accrington Stanley.

Plymouth sealed it when Danny Mayor fed substitute Grant in the 78th minute and he fired the ball low into the far corner of the net. It went from bad to worse for Accrington on 51 minutes when Mo Sangare saw red for two yellow cards - their sixth League One dismissal of the season. Plymouth opened the scoring on 14 minutes when former Stanley midfielder Butcher's long-range strike hit the back of defender Baba Fernandes and looped into the net, wrong-footing keeper Toby Savin.

REPORT: Stanley 0 Plymouth Argyle 2 (Accrington Stanley)

Battling Accrington Stanley lost out to promotion-chasing Plymouth Argyle as they ended the game with ten men.

Stanley started the second half on the front foot with Leigh’s ball into the area collected by Burton just before Adedoyin could pounce. Stanley were still in it, Tommy Leigh’s throws causing a few problems in the Plymouth area but the Reds were unable to seriously trouble Burton again before the break. Stanley started well and, on nine minutes, had big appeals for handball in the area from a Mitch Clark cross which were waved away by referee James Bell and the loose ball fell to Adedoyin whose shot was pushed out at the near post by Callum Burton.

Danny Mayor misses out, 3-4-2-1: The Plymouth Argyle XI that ... (Football League World)

Plymouth Argyle could return to the top of League One in victory over Accrington Stanley this evening.

Hardie is Argyle's first choice number nine at the moment, and he may have been rested on Saturday due to the lesser opposition in the fixture. Argyle assembled a very exciting squad in the summer, built on that promise in January, handing Schumacher the luxury of being able to alter his starting XI without any drop-off in quality. Schumacher has adopted a squad rotation policy this season that has been very effective.
