Plymouth Argyle lost 2-0 to Huddersfield Town in a League One match at Home Park, surrendering their position at the top of the table.
Plymouth Argyle lost 2-0 to Huddersfield Town at Home Park in a League One match, surrendering their position at the top of the table. Huddersfield's Dutch winger Derensil Sanches Fernandes scored in the sixth minute, and striker Bojan Radulovic doubled their lead early in the second half with a run and cross from former Argyle wing-back Bali Mumba. Goalkeeper Murphy Cooper made several saves in the first half to prevent a larger margin of defeat.
Head coach Tom Cleverley acknowledged Huddersfield's superiority, saying his side 'dominated in every phase of the game'. He suggested his team had 'shrunk away from the challenge' after Huddersfield's early quality display, rather than attempting to dominate their opponents. Argyle made a triple substitution in the 62nd minute, bringing on Xavier Amaechi and Oli Irow, who created some chances but could not reduce the deficit.
The defeat was Argyle's third at home in six League One games this season, a record Cleverley will find concerning. Argyle travel to Stevenage on Tuesday night to attempt to bounce back from the loss.
