Division Two round-up
Argyle maintained their four-point advantage over second placed QPR, and also kept their 12-point cushion on third placed Bristol City after mauling Chesterfield in a barrage of goals in the opening 36 minutes.
The visitors were left reeling as Paul Sturrock's league leaders went ahead after just four minutes through Lee Hodges. Tony Capaldi made it two on 11 minutes before Nathan Lowndes added a third a minute later.
David Friio (pictured) made it an incredible 4-0 after just 15 minutes and there was still time for Lowndes and Friio to grab another goal each to complete the job before half time - and the only surprise was that Friio had to wait until two minutes before time to complete his hat-trick and the 7-0 scoreline.

Tommy Mooney was the hero for Swindon Town as his goals on 15 and 80 minutes cancelled out James Hayter's fifth minute opener to grab a 2-1 win over Bournemouth at The County Ground.
