CHARLOTTE Whitmore scored a last-gasp goal to secure Plymouth Argyle a 2-1 away win at AFC Wimbledon on Sunday and boost their hopes of staying in the FA National League Southern Premier Division.

Whitmore had pulled Argyle level in the first half after Dior Knorr had given sixth-placed Wimbledon the lead.

In the second half, the Pilgrims had lots of pressure, but it just did not look like they goal they needed was going to come.

But in the sixth minute of added-on time, the ball came to Whitmore, who beat a defender and rolled the ball into the corner of the net, much to the delight of her team-mates.

The win has moved Argyle out of the relegation zone and gives them a great chance of staying up.
