  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Plymouth Argyle are stuck to the bottom of the Championship standings as Rooney led the Pilgrims to just four wins in 23 games during his tenure. After a run of nine winless games, the Championship side parted ways with the England legend, who only joined the club at the start of the season.

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Plymouth started their first game after Rooney with a 2-2 draw as the Pilgrims came back from a deficit twice as Bristol City opened the scoring with Anis Mehmeti in the 32nd minute before Rami Al Hajj equalised for the home side. However, the Championship playoff contenders scored minutes later via Jason Knight and Plymouth pushed through in injury time to grab a late leveller.
