The leaders Plymouth lost 2-1 at home to Exeter in the Devon derby, as they saw their gap at the top of the table closed to two points.

Ryan Harley’s brace gave the visitors a 2-0 lead at half-time, but Oscar Threlkeld pulled one back for the Pilgrims late on, however they were unable to find an equaliser.

It was Oxford United who closed the gap on Argyle with a 1-0 away win over Dagenham. They left it late though – Kemar Roofe’s stunning free-kick in the 85th minute leaves the Daggers firmly rooted to the bottom of League Two.
