Kyle Wootton's second-half brace turned the tide for Stockport County as they overturned Plymouth Argyle's early advantage to claim a vital 2-1 victory at Edgeley Park. The Hatters looked sluggish in the opening period, falling behind to Caleb Watts' 42nd-minute opener after the same player had been cautioned for simulation earlier in the half. Dave Challinor's tactical reshuffle at the break, introducing fresh legs through multiple substitutions, transformed County's tempo and directness. Wootton capitalized on improved service to level proceedings in the 69th minute before delivering the decisive blow with just five minutes remaining, maintaining Stockport's push for automatic promotion while dealing a significant blow to Plymouth's playoff aspirations.
