ROBERTSON STINGS ARGYLE FROM SPOT

Saturday August 13th 1977.

St James's Park, attendance 6,712. EXETER CITY 2 PLYMOUTH ARGYLE 2.

A cross from Trusson was headed away and finally cleared. The City then mounted an attack down the right with a good low cross by Beer into the six-yard area, but Kellow failed to connect. Exeter maintained their early pressure and a shot by Hodge narrowly cleared the crossbar. After seven minutes the Argyle gave away a penalty for a foul inside the area on Robertson. Robertson coolly planted the ball to the left of Barron in the back of the net but the referee ordered a retake because Robertson had not waited for the whistle. However on his second attempt Barron this time dived to the left, while Robertson made no mistake, placing his kick in the opposite corner. Plymouth fought back and scored two goals, both by Trusson.
