Northampton 3-1 Plymouth: Andy Williams double thwarts Argyle

Highlights of the Sky Bet League Two game between Northampton and Plymouth

Andy Williams scored twice as Northampton recorded their first home win of the season with a 3-1 victory over Plymouth.

The Cobblers were ahead on seven minutes when Sam Hoskins' cross hit an arm and Ryan Watson stuck away the spot-kick, but it was 1-1 just three minutes later as Danny Mayor was fouled and Joe Riley drilled the free-kick under the wall.

Northampton were back in front midway through the first half though as Hoskins sent in a teasing low cross and Williams stretched out a leg to divert into the bottom corner.

Argyle's Gary Sawyer headed over from underneath the crossbar and Nicky Adams hit the post with a Northampton free-kick before the home side made it 3-1 just shy of half-time thanks to Williams, who volleyed home another Hoskins cross.
