Plymouth Argyle boss Ryan Lowe praised his side for their relentless pursuit of a win well into stoppage time.

Lowe said: “The lads were brilliant every single one of them we were top class right the way through from the first minute to the 96^th.”


Striker Luke Jephcott opened the scoring by roofing in a sidefoot volley on 68 minutes not long after having another similar far post effort ruled out for offside.

United replied following a 76^th minute penalty as Joe Ironside followed-in to level after the greens young keeper Michael Cooper saved the striker’s spot kick.

Lowe said: “I am really pleased with and proud of the group because they kept going and kept going.

“We were undone by a decision that means we should be here saying we’ve got three points rather than one.

“Fair play to the players they stuck at it, worked their socks off, we hit the bar late on, had a couple of other chances and the deliveries going into the box were fantastic.

“For me it was a carbon copy of Saturday and there was only one team who liked like winning and that was us.

“I am really disappointed with the decision but I am far from disappointed with the attitude, application and performance of our lads and I was pleased with the way our fans reacted to that decision because it lifted us and got us going.

“We deserved that (opening) goal - Jephs volley - he deserved two goals, we deserved two goals and we should have been coming away from here 2-1 and taking three points.”
