Plymouth Argyle rose to the top of the Sky Bet League Two table for the first time this season with their sixth consecutive victory in all competitions.

No Argyle team have achieved that in a single season since Paul Sturrock's title winning Pilgrims managed the feat in the glorious season of 2003-04, but this season's incarnation made us sweat to get there against Cambridge United, at Home Park.

The Pilgrims, for 80 minutes, were dominant against bottom-of-the-table Cambridge, leading via goals from Graham Carey and Jordan Slew, but a goal by Medo Elito led to a nervous denouement to the match.

Argyle held on, though, and returned the summit of the division - a position they vacated in January of this year.

Derek Adams made five changes to the side that had won 1-0 against Cheltenham seven day previously. Oscar Threlkeld, Connor Smith, Ryan Donaldson, Jake Jervis and Jimmy Spencer all dropped to the bench, replaced by Gary Miller, David Fox, Slew, Craig Tanner and Paul-Arnold Garita.
