Plymouth’s Scottish striker Ryan Hardie came off the bench to seal a 3-0 Argyle victory over Accrington Stanley and a fourth win on the spin for the League One leaders.Hardie latched on to a ball over the top from playmaker Adam Randell to hammer home Argyle’s third goal in stoppage time.
Niall Ennis had fired Argyle ahead in the 24th minute. The striker exchanged passes with home skipper Joe Edwards and raced into the box to slide in and score.
Stanley looked set to draw level in the 30th minute when Ethan Hamilton found space on the left of the penalty area. His angled shot was turned around the post by keeper Michael Cooper.
Stanley skipper Seamus Conneely and home central defender Dan Scarr were both red carded by referee Neil Hair as they went for a 50-50 ball just outside the centre circle in the 37th minute.
Argyle went 2-0 up as striker Sam Cosgrove fired home through a defender and keeper Lukas Jensen’s legs after being teed up by Nigel Lonwijk on 63 minutes following an incisive defence-splitting pass by Jordan Houghton.
Edwards thumping shot came back off the bar in the 79th minute and Finn Azaz went close as Argyle sought a third goal.
Hotshot Hardie provided it... with a clinical finish.
