ARGYLE BACK ON CUP TRAIL

After taking Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool to a replay in the third round of the FA Cup last season, Plymouth Argyle started their 2017-18 cup campaign with a win over Grimsby Town.

An curling left footed strike from Irish playmaker Graham Carey - his third goal in the space of five matches - in the ninth minute proved to be all that separated the two sides, as Argyle will now look forward to Monday's draw.

The Pilgrims will be joined by Yeovil Town after the Glovers - famed for their giant killing acts as a non-league side - claimed a scalp of sorts as they defeated League One side Southend United 1-0 courtesy of an Otis Khan penalty.

Tomorrow Exeter City host Heybridge Swifts whilst Truro City travel to Charlton Athletic as they aim to join them in the next stage.
