Jimmy-Jay Morgan earns Peterborough victory at Plymouth

Jimmy-Jay Morgan scored the only goal of the game as Peterborough claimed a first away win of the season – 1-0 at Plymouth.

Argyle goalkeeper Luca Ashby-Hammond kept out Jacob Mendy’s thumping angled shot from the right but could do nothing to stop Morgan’s follow-up on the half-hour.

Ashby-Hammond had saved a 23rd-minute penalty from Harry Leonard after he had tripped Morgan as he tried to take the ball around him.

Plymouth were convinced a 41st-minute Alex Mitchell header had crossed the line when Alex Bass palmed the ball onto the crossbar and it appeared to bounce down behind the keeper.

Bass made a brilliant first-half stoppage-time save to deflect Lorent Tolaj’s header around a post.

Matty Sorinola sent a 25-yard drive inches wide in the 56th minute as Argyle went in search of an equaliser.

Bass made another good stop on the hour, keeping out Bali Mumba’s long-range strike.

Tolaj’s 62nd-minute scissor-kick effort beat Bass but crashed off the underside of the bar.

Dangerman Tolaj’s audacious 30-yard attempt in the 75th minute was palmed around a post by Bass at full stretch.
