Canavan grabs added-time winner for Plymouth
Posted Monday, December 30, 2019 by PA
Plymouth defender Niall Canavan bundled in a stoppage time winner as Ryan Lowe’s side beat battling Stevenage 2-1 at Home Park.
The win lifted Argyle into the League Two play-off places after a third successive victory.
Argyle had taken a 23rd minute lead after Canavan’s cross-field ball found Byron Moore on the right.
Moore cut in and went for goal, his shot looping up off marker Tyler Denton and in to the far corner over keeper Paul Farman.
Boro levelled with an almost identical move on the hour.
Central defender Ben Nugent made a superb cross-field pass out to the right where Elliott List took the ball down before sending a low drive past keeper Alex Palmer.
Argyle will rue missed opportunities after going 1-0 up.
George Cooper’s 28th minute free kick needed to be saved by Farman, at full stretch, and a minute later midfielder Antoni Sarcevic sent his shot inches wide.
With Argyle pressing, playmaker Danny Mayor teed up Billy Clarke, whose shot beat Farman but smashed off the far post.
But then in the sixth minute of stoppage time Canavan claimed the winner from a yard out.
