Pilgrims edge out Daggers

Image: Reuben Reid: Opened the scoring

John Sheridan's Plymouth Argyle made it seven unbeaten in all competitions with an impressive 2-1 win over Dagenham at Home Park.

Plymouth's on-loan Yeovil Town striker Reuben Reid - who hit an FA Cup hat-trick in midweek - scored a cracking 44th-minute solo opener. In a half of limited chances, Reid carved out his own opportunity, running at Dagenham before letting fly with a right-footed 20-yard strike that flew past diving Daggers keeper Chris Lewington and in off the inside of the post. Argyle's joy was short lived as the visitors responded within a minute as danger man Zavon Hines made the most of a mix-up in the home defence, and a slip by marker Maxime Blanchard, to slot home from a few yards out. Plymothian Luke Young scored with a spectacular 77th-minute free-kick from outside the area on the right, though, after man of the match Reid had been tumbled on his way to goal.
