Plymouth Argyle 0-2 Leeds United highlights: Gnonto and Georginio help Whites extend winning run to eight
United are unbeaten in ten across all competitions since the turn of the year and have already faced Plymouth twice in 2024. Leeds' first fixture against the Pilgrims this calendar year was a 1-1 draw in the FA Cup Fourth Round at Elland Road, followed by a 4-1 victory, after extra time, at Home Park.
Daniel Farke and his side return this weekend in the league, a competition they have been imperious in since New Year, maintaining a 100 per cent record, defeating teams such as Cardiff City, Birmingham City, Rotherham United and Swansea City emphatically.

Plymouth Argyle vs Leeds United LIVE
90+1' Dan James strikes the crossbar with a free-kick.
Piroe and Georginio off; Joseph and Gelhardt on.
Into stoppages
90' Three added minutes as Leeds line up a free-kick from right on the very edge of the penalty area. Foul on Dan James definitely took place inside the box, mind.
Near post
89' Free-kick fizzed into the near post but Meslier just about has it covered. Leeds clear.
78' Meslier dives on the ball at the near post, doesn't get the ball and Hardie keeps it alive but Rodon is there to save Leeds and put it out for a corner.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLL GEORGINIOOOO
73' Lovely. Piroe, who has been playing at 10 for the last while, gets on the ball in midfield and strokes a nice ball into the feet of Rutter (now at 9) who has space and Summerville outside him. Goes himself and whacks it low and hard through the keeper.
High and wide
69' Summerville found by Rutter who latched onto a long ball forward. Weaves his way across the box as he so often does, shoots waywardly with his right. Hasn't been at the races today, a little off his usual standard of late.
Send him off!
67' The referee is sorting out some shenanigans at a corner. He's just stepped on Ampadu's foot. Meslier claims the recycled ball following the Plymouth corner really well.
It's been a slog
63' Firpo lets one roll out of play, over his foot. A moment that just about sums up Leeds in possession for far too long in this game. Gnonto about the only reliable outlet, midfielders not on the ball anywhere near enough.
60' Rodon caught in possession, a bit clumsily. Tries to atone for his error by sprinting back, catches Devine who'd got in his way. Plymouth fans calling for the referee to produce a card. Counter comes to nothing as well.
Slender lead
58' Home Park can feel the tide turning slightly, really getting behind the hosts at the moment. Leeds sloppier in possession, Argyle getting more chances to get up the pitch and stay there.
On target
56' Miller stings Meslier's palms with a shot from the corner of the penalty area. Corner.
