Plymouth Argyle 3 Exeter City 0: Match report

You will always remember where you were when Kennedy scored.

New Argyle signing Matty Kennedy scored the first and made the second for fellow home debutant Ryan Taylor as Argyle cruised past local rivals - and promotion contenders - Exeter City. Jake Jervis added a late third from the spot, but the game was well won by then.

It seemed to be rather against the script. Exeter's...

Argyle manager Derek Adams perfectly summed up the Derby Day dichotomy in the build-up to the 104th meeting between Devon’s oldest and – geographically, at least – closest EFL sides. “We don’t make it bigger than any other game,” he said, on the eve of Argyle’s visit to Exeter City, “but we know it’s bigger than any other game.”

Argyle's play-off ambitions were dealt a blow by the team they would least like to deliver that blow when Exeter produced an impressive second-half comeback to complete a Devon Expressway Derby double.
