Ugwu stuns Argyle: Plymouth 0-1 Wycombe

Gozie Ugwu scored Wycombe's third-minute winner as they upset promotion-chasing Plymouth Argyle 1-0 at Home Park.

Ugwu got Wycombe off to a flying start in Saturday's League 2 clash at Home Park when he smashed the ball home from close range following a goalmouth scramble.

On 15 minutes, injured Wycombe keeper Alex Lynch was replaced by 46-year-old reserve Barry Richardson, playing his first competitive match since a November 2005 Football League Trophy appearance for Doncaster Rovers.

He was rarely tested, though, and it was the visitors who continued pressing. Ugwu was denied, from close range again, by a brilliant block tackle from Argyle skipper Curtis Nelson on 34 minutes.

Pilgrims striker Reuben Reid then had penalty appeals waved away after being felled as he went to shoot.

Wanderers' Michael Harriman cleared Nelson's goal-bound shot off the line following substitute Graham Carey's 56th-minute corner.

On 71 minutes, Luke McCormick made two reaction saves to deny Matt Bloomfield while Carey did his best to test Richardson from a dipping 30-yard free-kick, which the keeper saved at the foot of his post.

The Pilgrims were aggrieved at Wycombe's game plan and after the final whistle, a tweet on the club's official Twitter feed accused the visitors of time wasting.

The tweet read: "Wycombe came here to waste time, niggle and get under our skin. They did it and they won. See you next week."
