Another disappointing day at the office for Plymouth Argyle with a stoppage-time equaliser ending the hopes of a first home win since August.
Argyle Life Player of the Month: September

Formation Change Helps Argyle End Winless Run
Was this a perfect display? No. But ending a 7-game winless run away from home against one of the early season promotion favourites is certainly sufficient.
