Plymouth made it three wins in a row following a 1-0 home victory over Carlisle to end United's three-match winning streak.
Lewis Alessandra scored Argyle's 15th minute winner from close range, first-timing home Dominic Blizzard's cross from the left following a patient build-up. Carlisle had two efforts cleared off the line by Argyle skipper Curtis Nelson and Lee Cox - from a thumping Brad Potts shot - as they sought a late leveller. Carlisle central defender Troy Archibald-Henville had made a crucial off the line clearance to deny Alessandra on five minutes after the in-form forward was teed up by Reuben Reid's pinpoint cross from the right. Bobby Reid came close to increasing Plymouth's lead from a 20-yard second-half free kick that skimmed down the outside of the net. Substitute Deane Smalley tested Carlisle keeper Dan Hanford with a 20 yard drive after replacing striker Reuben Reid on 73 minutes and the keeper made a superb stop to flap away Alessandra's rising drive. Archibald-Henville cleared Blizzard's goal-bound header off the line before Carlisle countered with a late rally.
