Promoted Plymouth continued their unbeaten League One start with a 1-1 home draw against Shrewsbury, still seeking their first win after three league games.

Shrewsbury’s relentless early pressure was rewarded in the 14^th minute when Josh Vela smashed home an unstoppable shot from the edge of the box to put Town 1-0 up.

Argyle responded with a superb leveller from Conor Grant, who curled the ball from the right hand side of the box into the far left corner, giving Matija Sarkic little chance on 29 minutes.

Sarkic retired injured to be replaced by Shrews number one Harry Burgoyne on 56 minutes but not after making a game-changing contribution.

Sarkic’s last action was to stop an audacious George Cooper shot sneaking in at the post after taking a deflection off a Town defender.

The on-loan Wolverhampton Wanderers keeper had made a tremendous 25^th minute double stop to deny recalled Argyle striker Dom Telford, who looked certain to score at the second attempt from close range.

But the 23-year-old Montenegrin keeper was equal to Telford’s point-blank shot.

Burgoyne made a superb save to deny Frank Nouble on 75 minutes as Argyle pressed for a winner.
