Aribim Pepple’s injury-time strike decided a seven-goal thriller in Plymouth Argyle’s favour as they beat Bristol Rovers 4-3 to progress to the Vertu Trophy quarter-finals.<\/p>\n
Pepple’s goal, his fifth of the season, deflected into the net from Ronan Curtis’ cross as Argyle edged a see-saw contest at the Memorial Stadium in the fourth minute of added time.<\/p>\n
A chaotic evening started with Caleb Watts giving the visitors the lead after only two minutes but back came Steve Evans’ side and strikes from Shaq Forde and Fabrizio Cavegn – the latter with his 13th goal of the season – gave the Gas a slender advantage at the interval.<\/p>\n
However, a quickfire double from Brendan Galloway and Lorent Tolaj put Argyle back in front before Luke Thomas levelled for the hosts just after the hour.<\/p>\n
The game had looked set for penalties until Pepple had the final word.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Port Vale’s mini revival under new boss Jon Brady continued as Ben Waine’s 90th-minute goal dumped out two-time winners Bolton Wanderers.<\/p>\n
It is now two wins out of two for the new Valiants boss after taking over from Darren Moore, with this coming after their FA Cup third round win over Fleetwood.<\/p>\n
The visitors left it late but profited when George Hall cut in before crossing for Waine to send Vale into the last eight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aribim Pepple’s injury-time strike decided a seven-goal thriller in Plymouth Argyle’s favour as they beat Bristol Rovers 4-3…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":369037,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-369036","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369036","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=369036"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369036\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/369037"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=369036"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=369036"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=369036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
