Ghanaian attacking midfielder Michael Baidoo made his first-ever appearance for Plymouth Argyle when they knocked Premier League side Brentford out of the FA Cup.

Baidoo, who joined the Greens for a club record fee in the ongoing winter transfer window from Swedish Allsvenskan side IF Elfsborg, was handed a starting berth and lasted for 60 minutes.

Morgan Whittaker struck a late winner as the Championship's bottom club Plymouth Argyle knocked Premier League side Brentford out of the FA Cup.

With the third-round tie still goalless 82 minutes in, Whittaker cut in from the right before planting a low left-foot drive into Hakon Valdimarsson's goal to send the Pilgrims through.

With Miron Muslic, named as the replacement for Wayne Rooney on Friday, watching on from the stands, Plymouth restricted the hosts to very few chances all game.

 

Two Fabio Carvalho efforts inside the first 15 minutes, which were kept out by Argyle goalkeeper Conor Hazard, were the only shots on target from Thomas Frank's side.

 

Though Frank turned to his star forwards Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa to break the deadlock from the bench, it was the visitors who found the all-important breakthrough.

 

Wissa headed wide from close range late on but Plymouth held on during a nervy finish as Brentford exited the FA Cup in the third round for the third consecutive season.

 

Baidoo is expected to play in front of Plymouth Argyle fans in the Championship when they take on Oxford United on Tuesday.
