        Eaves' hat-trick dashes Plymouth's play-off hopes

        Tom Eaves struck a hat-trick as Plymouth's faint play-off hopes were well and truly extinguished after a resounding 5-2 defeat at Gillingham.Argyle not only needed to win but also required sixth-placed Charlton to lose - and for there to be a six-goal swing in proceedings.Plymouth, who were in relegation trouble back in November, could not live with Steve Lovell's side and especially giant striker Eaves.He struck a 21-minute hat-trick either side of the break to ensure Argyle will be playing in the third-tier next season.Josh Parker's strike gave Gillingham an early lead before Anthony Grant bundled in an equaliser for the visitors.But that was as good as it got for Derek Adams' side.Eaves then stole the show, first capitalising on a slip from a defender and slotting home before finishing coolly to make it 3-1.The giant striker followed up that feat to complete his second treble of the season with a header.Graham Carey's header reduced the arrears for Argyle but sub Elliott List had the final say with a tight finish in stoppage time.

          Scunthorpe seal play-off spot with Plymouth win

          Scunthorpe secured their place in the League One play-offs with a comfortable 2-0 success over fellow promotion hopefuls Plymouth.Just two points and a single place separated the two teams going into the clash, but goals from Hakeeb Adelakun and Ivan Toney proved the difference in a game the hosts dominated.Argyle's fight to prolong their season will go to the final day, but they must win at Gillingham, hope Charlton lose at relegation-threatened Rochdale and also overturn a six-goal deficit to climb into the top six.In an entertaining contest, Adelekun fired Scunthorpe ahead in the 32nd minute with a goal from nowhere, picking up the ball in the middle of the park before striding forward and finding the bottom corner.Matt Gilks used a strong fist to foil Graham Carey as Plymouth sought an instant response, before visiting goalkeeper Remi Matthews came to his side's rescue by denying Josh Morris when the hosts broke quickly up field.Plymouth boss Derek Adams made a double substitution at the break but - after a bright start to the second half - his side fell two goals behind when Toney cleverly diverted a low cross into the far corner of the net with his heel.The Iron could have won more comfortably, with Ryan Yates twice seeing headers kept out and skipper Rory McArdle having an effort ruled out for offside.

            Graham Carey keeps Plymouth's play-off hopes alive

            Graham Carey netted a last-gasp penalty as Plymouth kept their League One play-off hopes alive with a 2-1 comeback win over fourth-placed Rotherham.Argyle player of the year Carey won and converted the stoppage-time spot-kick as his side rallied from 1-0 down.Joel Grant had earlier cancelled out Richie Towell's opener before Carey's winner, leaving Plymouth two points off sixth-placed Scunthorpe - who they visit on Tuesday - with two matches remaining. With their play-off place already secured, Rotherham played with a freedom and were duly rewarded when Towell fired the Millers ahead in the 33rd minute.Towell rifled in from the right hand side of the penalty area after being teed up by David Ball, who had an earlier effort ruled out for offside.Grant went solo to level after 61 minutes, sweeping the ball past Millers goalkeeper Marek Rodak from 10 yards.And Carey kept his cool from 12 yards at the death after he was fouled in the box by Will Vaulks.

              Rochdale draw clear of relegation zone

              Rochdale climbed out of the Sky Bet League One relegation zone for the first time since mid-December after a 1-1 draw with okay-off chasing Plymouth.Ryan Delaney's 55th-minute header cancelled out Joel Grant's opener for the visitors, who were the better side in the opening half and were left to rue missed chances.Graham Carey, Antoni Sarcevic and Ruben Lameiras were all denied by Josh Lillis and when Carey beat the goalkeeper with a curling shot his effort struck the post.Dale boss Keith Hill made a double substitution at the break and his side started the second half brightly, Callum Camps' flicked effort forcing a good save out of Remi Matthews.The home side were dealt a sucker punch when Argyle broke forward and Lameiras picked out Grant, who headed home on 54 minutes. But Dale levelled within a minute, Delaney heading home Brad Inman's corner.Dale looked the more likely to grab a winner with Matty Gillam's turn and shot from close range flying over the Plymouth crossbar, while Inman had a shot beaten away by Matthews.
