Plymouth extended their lead at the top of League Two to five points with a comfortable win over Morecambe.
Graham Carey's rasping 20-yard strike gave the home side an early lead following good play from Craig Tanner.
Tanner soon doubled Argyle's advantage with a fantastic curling shot which went in off the post.
The Shrimps' best chance of the game fell to Jamie Devitt, but his long-range shot was saved by keeper Luke McCormick as Argyle saw out the win.
