Second-half strikes from Bali Mumba and Morgan Whittaker completed a thrilling Plymouth fightback to leapfrog Ipswich at the top of League One.

The Tractor Boys led at half-time through former Argyle favourite Freddie Ladapo’s deflected looping effort.

Mumba’s 69th-minute stunner brought the home side level and turned the tide of the match before Whittaker’s deflected shot into the top corner completed the turnaround six minutes later.

Ipswich goalkeeper Christian Walton hit the crossbar with a header from a corner in the dying moments of a remarkable end to the match.
