In a pulsating clash at the Banks’s Stadium, the Pilgrims took the lead against the run of play when Ryan Edwards – making his first appearance since recovering from testicular cancer – fired them in front.

But debutant Cook pulled them level on the stroke of half-time after Joe Riley fouled Morgan Ferrier in the box.

Cook took the resultant penalty and while his initial strike was saved, he reacted first to fire in at the second attempt.
