Plymouth Argyle made it three wins out of their last four League One games with a convincing 4-0 victory over bottom-of-the-table Burton Albion at the Pirelli Stadium.
Tom Cleverley's young Pilgrims bounced back from their 1-0 defeat at home to Peterborough United a week earlier with a dominant display on the road.
Lorent Tolaj scored two of the goals as he continued the good start to his career at Argyle after joining from Port Vale in a £1.2 million transfer towards the end of the summer transfer window.

Owen Oseni was also on target as he was selected in the starting line-up by Cleverley and took his goal tally in all competitions to five as well, while substitute Bim Pepple grabbed the Pilgrims' fourth goal in the closing stages.
Another pleasing aspect of the result was that Argyle kept just their second clean sheet of the season as goalkeeper Conor Hazard returned from long-term injury to play his first league game of the campaign.

Argyle chances
Burton keeper Brad Collins is out decisively to grab the ball before Argyle striker Lorent Tolaj can put it past him.

Argyle chairman Simon Hallett is at the Pirelli Stadium this afternoon.
Cleverley serving touchline ban
This game is the first of Tom Cleverley's two-match touchline ban after he was sent-off during Argyle's 3-2 win away to Luton Town a fortnight ago. I'm expecting him to be sat not far to my left in the directors' box, which is quite close to the away dug-out so communication with coaches Damon Lathrope and Kevin Nancekivell should not be an issue for him.
Flahavan's final game for Argyle
Argyle goalkeeping coach Darryl Flahavan will be joining Sheffield Wednesday after this last game with the Pilgrims.
