Highlights of the Sky Bet League Two match between Plymouth and Newport.

Plymouth Argyle edged a 1-0 League Two win against Newport County thanks to a first goal in green for on-loan Bristol City midfielder Tyreeq Bakinson.

Bakinson scored a fifth minute opener against the club where he spent last season on loan.

The midfielder was at the near post to turn in a pacey cross from George Cooper following a short corner.

County had their chances to level in the half with skipper Joss Labadie firing an early warning shot.

Padraig Amond sent a deflected shot just past the post in the 45th minute as County pressed.

From the corner striker Jamille Matt's goal-bound header was headed off the line by Argyle striker Luke Jephcott.

Jephcott and substitute Joe Edwards both sent long-range efforts just wide of Tom King's goal midway through the second half.
