90+2’ Poor from Clarke
Clarke’s in-swinging free-kick goes straight to the goalkeeper.
A poor delivery.
86’ Another chance
Plymouth are finishing strongly.
This time Sessegnon’s cross from the right found Grant at the far post and the latter’s shot was deflected wide for another corner.
The delivery went straight across goal.
Wycombe are also level at AFC Wimbledon.
84’ Nervy moments
This game could still go either way.
Sunderland have caused more problems going forward in the second half but Plymouth are still creating openings.
Gillesphey’s cross from the left was skewed into the air by Wright before Patterson claimed the loose ball.
