Tuesday 9th March
Plymouth Argyle 0 Wigan Athletic 2
From the BBC Sport website:
Wigan Athletic moved out of the League One relegation zone with a 2-0 win at Ryan Lowe's Plymouth.
The visitors took a 13th-minute lead when Viv Solomon-Otabor hammered home from just inside the box after meeting Gavin Massey's cross from the right with a thumping first-time finish.
Argyle hit the woodwork twice before Wigan doubled their lead.
Top scorer Luke Jephcott met strike partner Niall Ennis' chest down with a thundering volley which beat keeper Jamie Jones but flew off the crossbar.
Jones made a super save to turn Conor Grant's goal-bound shot on to a post.
At the other end Argyle keeper Michael Cooper did well to keep out striker Callum Lang's strike as he broke through, with Solomon-Otabor firing over as the ball fell to him.
Curtis Tilt put Wigan further ahead after 32 minutes with a deft near-post header to turn in Tendayi Darikwa's cross following a superb build-up, passing move down the right.
Jones did well to save strikes from Ryan Hardie and Danny Mayor as Argyle pressed for a goal in the second half.
Argyle struck the woodwork for a third time when a curling 20-yard free-kick from substitute Adam Lewis spun off the post.
