What an absolutely barnstorming start to the EFL weekend, well, at Home Park at least, marginally less so at Prenton Park this evening.

On the eve of Plymouth's game against Luton, Wayne Rooney said he could see Argyle's identity starting to show. Well the rest of us have seen it now too.

The Pilgrims might have sailed into the distance long before they doubled their lead midway through the second half, but they rolled their sleeves up and made light of Luton's brief fightback to seal a deserved three points which took them a point ahead of their visitors in the Championship table.

There's work for Rob Edwards and Luton to do as they adjust to life back at sea level after their taste of the rarefied air of the Premier League.

Thank you for your company this evening. Best get some rest, we'll be back at noon tomorrow for a bumper programme of EFL action which will run for more than 10 hours, finishing off with the tasty League One clash between Barnsley and Stockport.

Goodnight!

Luton failed to make it three wins in a row and manager Rob Edwards told Sky Sports: "At both ends of the pitch we weren't good enough - they defended very well and we didn't.

"Credit to them for defending well and being ruthless and we weren't.

"I won't make excuses and losing three players in the game doesn't help but it's not why we lost.

"It's disappointing to lose any game, I feel for our fans who travelled all this way because they're desperate for us to do well but we have to dust ourselves down and get ready for Tuesday."

On striker Elijah Adebayo's 10-game run without a goal:

"He's a massive player for us and he's a big part of our success.

"In front of goal it's not quite going for him but he brings lots to the team and the goals will come."

Plymouth Argyle manager Wayne Rooney speaking to Sky Sports: "We were underestimated at the start of the season before we kicked a ball and then especially after the first game.

"But I think we've shown real character, we've shown the type of team we want to be, we're getting the ball forward and creating chances.

"It's a big win for us tonight against a good Luton team. It's a big win for a lot of our young players.

"I was delighted for the lads tonight, delighted for the fans - great atmosphere again, so a great start to the weekend."

Plymouth Argyle manager Wayne Rooney said he told Ibrahim Cissoko he was going to come on and win the game for them.

Rooney told Sky Sports: "He's a fantastic player and he showed his ability tonight when he came on. It wasn't so easy telling him he wasn't playing.

"I felt late on in the game, I said to him yesterday 'just trust in me, you're going to come on and win us the game'. It's always great as a manager when that happens and it shows to be true.

"He'll get all the glory but I think especially the defensive side of it tonight, we were under a bit of pressure second-half and on set-pieces, Luton are a real threat.

"Two different halves of football but we showed fight and character and I'm delighted with that."

The Championship! Are you not entertained?

Well that's good, because we have all of this to come in the next 48 hours, and we'll be right here to bring you it all live.

Ibrahim Cissoko said Plymouth played the type of football he "loves" against Luton tonight.

On what Wayne Rooney said to him when he brought him, Cissoko told Sky Sports: "Same as what he said always to do. Try to shoot, try to make something positive and I did that tonight."

On Plymouth's style of play this evening, he said: "I love that, make the action, shoot, score goals. That's the football I love."

On his goals: "First Darko gets the ball in midfield, great transition and one v one, I'm deadly, I know that. So I come in and bury it."

Cissoko added: "I've got more goals and more celebrations to come."

Plymouth's Joe Edwards on Sky Sports:

"We saw tonight what Wayne wants the team to do. At times we played some great stuff.

"We've got some exciting players here, they've still got things to learn but we've seen tonight what they can do.

"We had a tough year last year and managed to survive, we want to go a step further now and I think we've got the players and manager here to do that."

To the tune of Spandau Ballet's 'Gold' Ciss-o-ko is belted out across Home Park.

The Dutch winger has done the business for Argyle, but that scoreline does not reflect a game that Luton could have easily got a point from had their finishing been better.

Wayne Rooney will feel his side are up and running now though.

Luton are going to have to find some solutions.

They had a lot of corners and a few chances but the best ones fell to Plymouth.

It's a long trip back for the fans and there'll be no third successive win.

There was a real feelgood factor tonight - I know it's easy to say that when you've won.

The shape of the team worked and we saw that fight and character.

Back-to-back home wins for Plymouth, against Sunderland and now Luton. Six goals scored. Things are looking up for Wayne Rooney and Plymouth Argyle.

Rami Al Hajj's early opener set them on their way and Ibrahim Cissoko came off the bench to grab a double, either side of Victor Moses briefly giving Luton hope.

Home Park is a fortress once again and they celebrate their first win at home to Luton since November 2006.

What a humdinger that was!

Absolutely brilliant.

Lewis Gibson puts in two great tackles and it's a bit of magic from Cissoko in the box - he's reversed it into the net - game over!

Joe Taylor has the ball in the net for Luton from a low cross from Victor Moses but the flag had long since been up.

Shame for the Hatters as that was a lovely flowing move.

Luton keeper Thomas Kaminski has his palms warmed by a rasping drive from Adam Forshaw.

It's Plymouth who are finishing the stronger.

Jordan Clarke also had his name taken by referee John Busby during that earlier exchange.

Seven minutes will be added. Plenty of time for more drama... you can imagine how the Green Army reacted to that announcement.

Adam Randell nearly put an exclamation mark on this game with a thunderous strike from distance which swerved through the air past Thomas Kaminski before rattling the crossbar.

Ibrahim Cissoko can only fire the recycled ball wide.

It's still wobbling now, I expect.

Reece Burke has picked up a caution, for kicking the ball away or back-chat, one or the other.

Luton's frustrating start to life back in the Championship continues.

Plymouth sub Muhamed Tijani is a unit and is already putting himself about, winning a free-kick in a dangerous area, though he's unable to get on the end of it when it is swung into the box.

Plymouth won't mind the ball being 90 yards from their goal, however.
