Reuben Reid inspires Pilgrims win

Plymouth top scorer Reuben Reid took his season's tally to 13 with two goals as John Sheridan's promotion chasing Pilgrims swept to a 3-0 home win over Dagenham.

A superb, measured pass by on-loan Bristol City playmaker Bobby Reid released Lewis Alessandra down the left and his cross from the bye line was converted from close range by stand-in skipper Reuben Reid from a yard out.

Both Reids were involved in Plymouth's second goal, crafted by on-loan Bolton Wanderers left back Andy Kellett after 50 minutes.

Bobby Reid scored after receiving a pass from Kellett and then playing an exquisite one-two with his namesake on the edge of the penalty area before sweeping the ball in from 12 yards.

Argyle increased their lead when Reuben Reid sent keeper Mark Cousins the wrong way from a 78th-minute penalty following a foul on Alessandra.

It was Reuben Reid's 11th league goal of the season and 13 in all competitions.

Joss Labadie and Jamie Cureton both went close for Dagenham in the opening 20 minutes.

Plymouth-born central defender Aaron Bentley, 19, made his League debut.
