Striker Owen Oseni scored twice as Plymouth fought back from 2-0 down to beat Championship QPR 3-2 in the Carabao Cup first round.
Oseni turned in substitute Caleb Watts’ incisive cross from the left in the 79th minute to complete a remarkable turnaround and secure Argyle’s first competitive win for new head coach Tom Cleverley, celebrating his 36th birthday.
Summer signing Oseni had levelled the scores with a brilliant outside-of-the-boot left footed finish to turn in Ayman Benarous’ deep cross from the left from an acute angle at the far post in the 54th minute.
Central defender Brendan Wiredu started the League One side’s comeback in the 48th minute, beating goalkeeper Paul Nardi after Victor Palsson headed Tegan Finn’s corner back across goal.
Earlier, Daniel Bennie pounced to score from close range to fire QPR ahead in the 21st minute.
Bennie was first to the ball as Argyle keeper Luca Ashby-Hammond saved Rumarn Burrell’s downward header from Elijah Dixon-Bonner’s cross from the left to the far post.
The visitors doubled their lead from a well-worked corner routine in the second minute of first half stoppage-time, Rayan Kolli leaping highest at the far post to head home Harvey Vale’s cross from the right.
