Rooney's Plymouth pull off sensational 3-3 draw

Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth Argyle side fought back from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 with Preston North End in the Championship on Saturday.

Morgan Whittaker scored in stoppage time to salvage an important point for Plymouth who are struggling one place outside of the relegation zone following just three wins in their opening 12 games of the season.

Preston led 2-0 at the break through goals from Sam Greenwood and Mads Frøkjær-Jensen before Brad Potts added a third in the 48th minute to give the visitors a commanding lead.

Freddie Issaka pulled one back for Plymouth on 55 minutes before Andre Gray’s 82nd minute strike made it 3-2 and gave the hosts hope.

That set the stage for Whittaker’s dramatic late goal, something which is becoming the norm for Plymouth who have now scored in added time at the end of their last four home fixtures.
