Plymouth maintained top spot in League One with a hard-fought 4-2 win over Cheltenham at a sold out Home Park.
Argyle took a grip on the game when they scored two goals within as many minutes midway through the first half.
Central defender Dan Scarr volleyed in Jordan Houghton's cross after 26 minutes.
Two minutes later, Scottish striker Ryan Hardie latched on to Finn Azaz's defence-splitting pass to fire home from outside the box.
Cheltenham responded with Will Ferry cutting the ball back for Taylor Perry to smash home five minutes before the break.
