Rooney Secures First Victory as Plymouth Argyle Coach with Dominant 3-0 Win Over Cheltenham.

Wayne Rooney celebrated his first victory at the helm of Plymouth Argyle with a commanding 3-0 triumph over Cheltenham Town in the Carabao Cup's first round at Home Park. 

The match showcased Rooney's impact, as his team delivered a performance full of energy and precision, marking the beginning of what could be an exciting journey under his leadership.

Argyle created the better chances in the first half, with Ryan Hardie and Freddie Issaka coming close to scoring, while Ethon Archer struck the Plymouth post just before the break.

The breakthrough came an hour in when Ben Waine tapped in from close range after Adam Randell's free-kick rebounded off the crossbar. After taking the lead, Argyle took control. 

Substitutes Mustapha Bundu and Morgan Whittaker missed opportunities before Hardie made it 2-0, finishing from Ibrahim Cissoko's left-wing cross. 

Bundu sealed the 3-0 win with a precise shot into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.
