WAYNE ROONEY ’S Plymouth claimed their first win in five Championship matches after beating bottom-placed Portsmouth 1-0.
The 24-year-old Republic of Ireland striker muscled Pompey skipper Regan Poole off a long through ball from Argyle keeper Dan Grimshaw before smashing a first time low strike into the corner past keeper Nicolas Schmid.Recalled playmaker Morgan Whittaker set up Argyle’s first attack of substance in the sixth minute with a brilliant break from deep inside his own half, before releasing the ball to Darko Gyabi.
It took 10 minutes to force a corner but when they did Schmid’s punched clearance only flew as far as Hungarian central defender Kornel Szucs, who acrobatically sent the ball towards the top corner, where the Pompey keeper gathered safely. Freddie Potts’ cross from the left after 35 minutes should have been converted but Portsmouth had better fortune with their next foray into Plymouth’s penalty area.
