Burton Albion 2-1 Plymouth
Last updated on .From the section Football
Burton secured victory over crisis club Plymouth, whose senior players had threatened to strike until Friday.
Justin Richards brilliantly beat his marker from Calvin Zola's flick and fired home a left-footed volley.
Zola doubled the lead, turning well to tuck home from close range after Argyle failed to deal with a throw-in.
Plymouth's Durrell Berry and Albion's Zola hit the woodwork before Will Atkinson's close-range consolation in injury time.
Argyle are bottom of the Football League and have not paid some of their players in full since December, the reason for the strike threat.
VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Plymouth Argyle manager Peter Reid told BBC Radio Devon:
"We've lost a football match, and it's a game I thought we had reasonable chances in.
"To concede a goal from a long throw is very disappointing but to be fair we kept going.
"It's a fantastic club that's going through a really bad time."
