Plymouth claim second 1-0 League One win in a week by beating Rotherham

Plymouth claimed their second 1-0 League One win in a week by beating Rotherham at Home Park thanks to Joe Ralls’ 42nd-minute winner.

Argyle took the lead with a superb attacking move down right, finished crisply by experienced midfielder Ralls from eight yards.

Bali Mumba’s defence-stretching pass sent Owen Dale away down the wing and his cut-back cross was deftly first-timed home by Ralls.

United’s Tom Holmes headed just over the bar from a 15th-minute corner taken by Dan Gore.

Argyle skipper Joe Edwards made a superb 29th-minute block to deny Joe Powell as he powered a volley goalwards from just inside the box.

Argyle had penalty shouts for a handball waved away by referee David Rock in the 32nd minute.

Jordan Hugill flashed a close-range header just over in the 50th minute, first to a pacy pinpoint cross from the left by Powell.

Hugill also had a shot deflected just wide as Rotherham went in search of a leveller.

Powell’s goal-bound 70th-minute drive was saved low at his near post by Conor Hazard.

Mitchell made a brilliant 82nd-minute off-the-line clearance as Holmes headed over Hazard.
