Michael Chopra scored his 4th, 5th and 6th goals of the season as City swept aside Plymouth at Home Park.

An injury time 2nd yellow card saw former Pilgrim Tony Capaldi sent off and from the resulting penalty Gow scored a consolation goal.

Chopra put City 1 up as early as the 4th minute. The game then went another 75 mins before Chops stole in to round the Argyle keeper to poke home his and City's second.

5 mins from time and Chris Burke was upended and Chopra scored past the static Larrieu to make it 3 - 0.

Chopra and City are now the leading scorers in the Champonship.

Capaldi's red card was a blow but did not take the shine off a fine win and sets up a cracking tie this Sunday.
