The fans were already having a bad day after they watched their side lose 3-0, Argyle’s third defeat in a row.
Ronan Curtis put Pompey one up after 22 minutes after he slotted his effort past the keeper.
The second half saw Jamal Lowe get on the end of a cross to make it 2-0. Curtis grabbed his second of the game just minutes later.
On social media, Plymouth fans certainly didn’t hold back their feelings after the defeat, there was also reaction to the coach fire that the away fans had to endure – check out those tweets on the next page.
