Plymouth Argyle 2-0 Sunderland: Pilgrims clinch first win in a month

Plymouth Argyle won for the first time in a month as they ended Sunderland's recent good run of form with a 2-0 victory in the Championship.

Morgan Whittaker's excellent strike gave the hosts the lead having held out after a number of early chances for Sunderland before Finn Azaz finished well to double the lead.

Jobe Bellingham struck a Plymouth post shortly before half-time and Trai Hume also headed against the woodwork just after the restart as Sunderland started the second period well.

Bali Mumba had two good chances to add to Argyle's tally as the Pilgrims claimed their fifth league win of the season.
