Dean Ashton celebrates his goal against Plymouth Argyle in 2007

On This Day: Ashton nets sensational volley in Plymouth Argyle win

Dean Ashton's superb volleyed finish in added time secured a dramatic late win for West Ham United over Plymouth Argyle on this day in 2007. 

The striker's emphatic strike, hit cleanly on the volley from Kyle Reid's cross, ensured the Hammers' progression to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup. 

On an evening where three-time Hammer Of The Year Scott Parker made his debut for the Club, the Irons went close to opening the scoring through James Collins and Luis Boa More. 

Championship side Plymouth grew in confidence as the match progressed with Sylvan Ebanks-Blake almost snatching the lead for the visitors. 

But forward Ashton would secure the win and West Ham's advancement through the tournament with his crisp finish on 90+1 minutes.
