Plymouth remain five points clear at the top of Sky Bet League Two following an emphatic 4-1 win against Yeovil.

Jimmy Spencer curled in a superb opener for Argyle in the 39th minute and they doubled their lead four minutes later through Jake Jervis' deflected effort.

There was still time for Yeovil to pull a goal back before half-time, Darren Ward tapping in, but Graham Carey's fierce strike restored Argyle's two-goal cushion and Jervis stroked in a late fourth.
