Cambridge United2-3Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth win 3-2 at Cambridge, who had 20 shots to eight and lost for only the second time in the league

Plymouth Argyle won 3-2 at Cambridge United, who had 20 shots to eight and 13 corners to three but suffered only their second league defeat of the season. Cambridge fall from fourth to sixth on 20 points, and Plymouth rise from fifth to fourth on 22.

Plymouth went ahead in the 41st minute when Cambridge's Louis Appéré headed Plymouth's Xavier Amaechi's corner into his own net. The second Plymouth goal, in the 50th minute, is credited to different players: the match report has Plymouth's Harvey White shooting in from outside the box past Cambridge goalkeeper Jake Eastwood, and the key-events list gives the goal to Amaechi with White as the assist.

Cambridge's Sulay Kaikai pulled one back in the 57th minute at the back post, and Plymouth's Bim Pepple made it 3-1 from the penalty spot in the 74th after Eastwood brought down Plymouth's Will Evans. Cambridge's Shayne Lavery, a substitute from the 61st minute, scored in the 86th from a pass by his team-mate Zak Bradshaw, scoring in a third game in a row.

Plymouth goalkeeper Murphy Cooper made a save in the 90th minute that denied Cambridge's Liam Bennett an equaliser. Cambridge are at Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday 27 October at 19:45 and at Leyton Orient on Saturday 31 October at 12:30.

The goal timeline is not shown: the match report and the key-events list give Plymouth Argyle's 50th-minute goal to different players (Harvey White and Xavier Amaechi), and the own goal by Cambridge United's Louis Appéré is listed under Plymouth Argyle, the side it counted for.
