Argyle Women pick up three big points in basement battle

First-half goals from Ella Stephens and Taya Pomfret were enough to seal all three points, but they were made to fight for them after Mollie Knox scored in the 77th minute and gave the visitors hope of a first league win.

The result sees the Greens climb out of the relegation zone, where they have sat since the middle of September, and with games in hand on the sides immediately above them.

Ryan Perks was missing from the dugout, after he received a red card in their last league match against Cheltenham, in November.

It was a slow start to the game with neither side really having a strong chance, Argyle coming closest with a Charlotte Whitmore effort from the wing.

The hosts were struggling to get forward in numbers, but they probably wanted to avoid an early defensive mistake to gift MK the advantage, as this is how they got on to the scoresheet in the reverse fixture in September.
