ARGYLE FLEX THEIR MUSCLES

PLYMOUTH strengthened their position at the top of League One with a 3-1 win over MK DONS at Home Park. The Pilgrims are seven points clear of their closest challengers Ipswich and sheffield Wednesday, who take on Lincoln and Cambridge respectively today. Plymouth opened the scoring just four minutes in when defender James Wilson volleyed home his first goal for the club from Morgan Whittaker’s freekick, before struggling Dons drew level against the run of play through Nathan Holland. The leaders ultimately proved too strong, with Niall Ennis restoring their lead before half-time and Whittaker capping a fine personal display with a goal after the break to add to two assists. Argyle boss steven schumacher reserved his praise for Wilson though, saying: ‘He was brilliant, not only for his goal. I’m really pleased for him to score.’ WYCOMBE surged into the play-off places with a 3-0 win at fellow promotion hopefuls PETERBOROUGH. Lewis Wing was at the double, with Ryan Tafazolli on target as well against his old club. Manager Gareth Ainsworth said: ‘Our energy made the difference.’ PORT VALE are three points off the play-offs in ninth after they left it very late to win 3-1 at

Vale manager Darrell Clarke admitted: ‘I was very frustrated at half-time but our gamechangers made the difference.’ EXETER are a point behind Port Vale after a 1-0 win at OXFORD, courtesy of sam Nombe’s winner with 11 minutes left.
