Northampton Town 0-2 Plymouth Argyle

  • Published

Plymouth Argyle secured a 2-0 victory against Northampton Town with goals from Graham Carey and Jake Jervis.

Carey raced clear to slot home past goalkeeper Adam Smith for Plymouth's opener, although the Cobblers almost equalised immediately but Ryan Cresswell headed over the crossbar.

Plymouth secured the win in the second half when Jervis finished from a tight angle after Carey's corner.

The Cobblers' misery was compounded when Josh Lelan was sent off late on.

Northampton Town manager Chris Wilder tells BBC Radio Northampton:

Wilder on Northampton v Plymouth

"It became a game where we lost a lot of belief very, very quickly. The quality was not up to the standards our players have shown.

"We played a way that is not the way we try to play. When you don't play in a natural way then you come unstuck.

"If we'd have got something out of the game then it wouldn't have been deserved."
