Plymouth Argyle have lost to Chelsea in their FA Cup 4th round clash, but not without a fight!
Around 6,000 Pilgrims' fans made the trip to Stamford Bridge on Saturday and what a trip it was!
The Green Army's cheers filled the London stadium, when Plymouth went 1-0 up shortly into the first half.
Macaulay Gillesphey was seen jumping for joy after scoring this goal in the eighth minute!
And it took the European champions most of the first half to equalise, with César Azpilicueta finding the net for the Blues.
Despite an onslaught of strikes, Plymouth managed to hold Chelsea at 1-1 and take the game to extra-time.
Marcus Alonso put the home side 2-1 up just minutes before the half-time whistle during extra-time.
Then Argyle won a penalty with just minutes to go after a foul in the box, but Ryan Hardie's strike was saved.
The final score at Stamford Bridge was Chelsea 2, Plymouth Argyle 1.
