Match Report
Another weekend, another Argyle home win, and another injury-time goal to send Home Park into raptures.
This time it was Morgan Whittaker the hero, heading in a winner to give Argyle a 2-1 win, and doing so six minutes into a seven-minute period of injury-time. It was the third game in a row at home that the Greens had scored in stoppage time.
It looked for a while like Michael Obafemi’s first Argyle goal was not going to be enough to earn the Pilgrims a victory against Blackburn Rovers at Home Park. The on-loan Burnley forward scored after 15 minutes in a game Argyle largely controlled, but Blackburn found an equaliser in the closing stages, through substitute Joe Rankin-Costello, and it seemed that a victory had been taken from the Greens’ grasp.
However, Whittaker timed his goal to perfection, in more ways than one.
