In-form Plymouth Argyle move second after bringing high-flying Port Vale crashing down to earth with a 5-1 thrashing at Vale Park.

Two goals by David Friio to go with single markers by Marino Keith, Steve Adams and Paul Wotton made it 15 goals scored in three matches by Paul Sturrock's side.

Stephen McPhee got a consolation for The Valiants, who lose a second straight match in the League this season.

Queens Park Rangers drop a place to third after drawing 0-0 at Peterborough United, who had Sagi Burton sent off in the first half for two bookable offences in the space of three minutes.

New boss Brian Little saw his Tranmere Rovers overturn a 1-0 deficit to defeat Oldham Athletic 2-1 at Prenton Park.
