They say that a week can be a long time in politics, and it can be equally lengthy in football.
That phrase has certainly proved to be the case for Plymouth Argyle in the last seven days, as the Pilgrims followed up their midweek home win over Gillingham with a 4-1 win over Scunthorpe United at Glanford Park.
Freddie Ladapo opened the scoring for Argyle, with his fifth goal in three matches, before Niall Canavan doubled their lead as he headed home against his former club in first half injury time.
Early in the second half, the Iron pulled a goal back through substitute Lee Novak and a minute later they looked to have found an equaliser through Ike Ugbo, but his header was ruled out for offside.
Argyle restored their two-goal advantage in the 57th minute when Joel Grant connected with a cross from Antoni Sarcevic.
In the dying minutes of the game, Sarcevic went from being provider after taking advantage of ample time on the ball to find the target with his first goal since February to complete a memorable win for the Pilgrims.
The game also marked the final game of James Brent's chairmanship, as he passed the baton onto Simon Hallett, a US-based fan who is now the club's majority shareholder.
During his seven years at the helm, Brent has taken Argyle out of Administration and overseen a play-off campaign under John Sheridan in the 2014-15 season, as well as a period of sustained success under Sheridan's successor - Derek Adams.
Since Adams was appointed in the summer of 2015, the Pilgrims have reached the League Two play-off semi-final in the 2015-16 season before winning automatic promotion by finishing second in the 2016-17 campaign. This achievement was then followed up with a seventh placed finish in League One last season, after spending much of the first half of the campaign fighting relegation.
