Steven Schumacher’s play-off chasing Plymouth Argyle made it back-to-back 2-0 League One home wins with victory over AFC Wimbledon at Home Park last night.Following Saturday’s win over Morecambe, Argyle swept back up into sixth place thanks to another goal from the Ryans, Hardie and Broom.
The greens took a 29th minute lead thanks to the combination of in-form playmaker Danny Mayor and top scorer Hardie.
Midfielder Mayor’s astute ball found striker Hardie in space in front of goal and he took a touch before smashing home his 15th goal of the season.
Argyle started the second half as they finished the first with skipper Joe Edwards having two shots in succession blocked and a goalmouth scramble, started by Hardie, cleared by the Dons defence.
That pressure soon told as Niall Ennis broke down the left and threaded the ball through the Dons penalty area to the far post where incoming Ryan Broom assuredly side footed home on 61 minutes.
A minute earlier, home keeper Michael Cooper - making his 100th first team Argyle appearance - made a superb diving save at the foot of his post to turn striker Sam Cosgrove’s close range angled drive from the right around his post.
Cosgrove had seen his header come back off the foot of the post in the ninth minute as the Dons started the game well.
