Plymouth Argyle manager Tom Cleverley says he was relieved to see Lorent Tolaj's 'Panenka' penalty go in during the 1-1 draw with Wigan Athletic.

The 23-year-old Swiss striker dinked the ball into the net from 12 yards to give the Pilgrims a 1-0 lead at Home Park.

The risky manoeuvre with 20 minutes to go gave the summer signing his sixth goal in as many games for Argyle - to the delight of the home crowd - although Fraser Murray's equaliser meant the hosts had to share the points.

"He's got a great goalscoring record," Cleverley told BBC Radio Devon.

"I think that makes him unpredictable, certainly as a penalty taker.

"Would I have done that on the windiest day of the year? I'm not sure I would, but it was executed very well, I must say."
