Newport 1 Argyle 2: Match report

Argyle got their third win in a row and remained top of the league with a 2-1 victory at Newport County that was permeated with poignant flashbacks.

In equal measure, it was a bitter pill for Argyle to swallow. A depleted Pilgrims line-up never seemed to find their feet - but equally they never found the need to throw in a towel. An Argyle team without...
