Plymouth Argyle rode their luck as Michael Obafemi's late goal helped them beat fellow Championship strugglers Portsmouth 1-0 at Home Park.
The three points lifts Wayne Rooney's side out of the relegation places into 20th in the table while Pompey remain rooted to the bottom, five points from safety.Having rested many of his first-choice attackers in the 3-0 loss at Leeds on Saturday, Rooney handed a full debut to Andre Gray up front as he made five changes, while Pompey made one change from the team that drew 1-1 at Hull on Saturday.
Argyle finally had an effort of note six minutes from the interval when a blocked Whittaker shot was headed on by Julio Pleguezuelo to Darko Gyabi, who missed the target from 10 yards as the hosts survived until the break. And it was the former Southampton forward who broke the hearts of their biggest rivals as the Republic of Ireland striker held off Poole after a long goal-kick before finishing from 10 yards out to complete a win Argyle did not really deserve."After the recent run of results the most important thing was we won the game, so I wasn’t really looking for a performance.
