Burton wing-back Jack Armer scored a second-half winner as Plymouth missed the chance to move top of League One after a 1-0 loss at Home Park.<\/p>\n
Armer was first to the loose ball after Argyle goalkeeper Murphy Cooper made a brilliant save to keep out Caylan Vickers’ strike with 20 minutes remaining.<\/p>\n
Substitute Caleb Watts’ header was superbly flapped over the bar by Burton keeper Corey Addai two minutes later as Argyle pressed for a leveller.<\/p>\n
In-form Argyle striker Bim Pepple, with four goals in four games, headed just wide at the far post after Ronan Curtis’ superb cross from the right eluded full-stretch Addai on 13 minutes.<\/p>\n
Armer missed a golden opportunity to put Albion one up in the 20th minute as he fired high from 10 yards after latching on to a pinpoint cross from the right.<\/p>\n
Albion midfielder Charlie Webster then bounced the ball off the top of the bar with an audacious first-time 48th-minute shot after Argyle failed to clear his corner.<\/p>\n
Cooper made a great diving save to punch away Burton skipper George Evans’ thumping 61st-minute free-kick from 20 yards while Plymouth sub Xavier Amaechi looked set to level on 79 minutes but fired over when through one-on-one.<\/p>\n
