Argyle substitute Craig Tanner's header earned his side a point.

Plymouth twice came from behind to earn a crucial point against League Two automatic promotion rivals Oxford.

The U's took the lead from a corner when Argyle defender Peter Hartley headed past his own keeper.

Plymouth quickly levelled when Curtis Nelson headed in a Jake Jervis corner.

The visitors led once more when Kemar Roofe rifled in his 21st of the season from 20 yards, before Argyle substitute Craig Tanner headed in from a corner to leave both sides with a point.

Plymouth also saw striker Reuben Reid crash a header off the crossbar early in the second half, before seeing his follow-up cleared off the line by Jonjoe Kenny.

Oxford also had a chance to win the game, but Nelson made a last-gasp tackle to deny Danny Hylton as he homed in on Luke McCormick's goal.
