Ladapo at the double as Plymouth climb off the bottom of the table
Posted Wednesday, October 24, 2018 by PA
Plymouth Argyle recorded their second League One win of the season, beating Gillingham 3-1 at Home Park, to move off the basement.
Argyle boss Derek Adams made five changes to the side which twice conceded a lead to lose 3-2 at home to Burton on Saturday.
However it was front man Freddie Ladapo – who scored both Argyle goals on Saturday – who was again the toast of home fans.
Ladapo fired home in the 22nd minute following a flowing move down the left and good work from playmaker Graham Carey and recalled Joel Grant.
Ladapo doubled his tally for a second game when he turned Carey’s cross past Tomas Holy with a brilliantly flighted 34th minute header.
Substitute Ruben Lameiras swapped passes with Ladapo before slotting in a 73rd minute third.
Gillingham replied through substitute Bradley Garmston fired home from 20 yards in the 76th minute.
Holy made a superb save to keep out Carey’s goal-bound strike, with Ladapo hovering and hoping to complete his hat-trick.
Non-stop midfielder Antoni Sarcevic fired just wide in the 56th minute.
Gills sub Navid Nasseri’s rising drive forced a 71st minute Matt Macey save.
