Hartlepool United's promotion charge continued with a 2-0 win over Plymouth at Home Park.

In a game where chances were few and far between, Pool capitalised on two first half defensive errors to strengthen their position at the top of the Division Three table.

Captain Craig Taylor should have cleared a harmless looking ball but after hesitating, Tommy Miller nipped in to grab his 17th goal of the season from the edge of the area.

Pool then doubled their advantage just before half-time although Taylor will be disappointed he didn't clear Mark Robinson's cross, which fell to former Mansfield striker Tony Lormor, who made no mistake from close range.
