Dewsnip said: “We are absolutely delighted with the result, made-up, but we know it’s not done yet. We still have a target and that is to stay in this league.”
Recalled Mustapha Bundu scored a superb 21st minute winner with a measured angled strike, after running on to a defence-splitting ball from experienced playmaker Adam Forshaw.
Home keeper Michael Cooper made a string of stops as Leicester piled on the pressure as Argyle held out for a famous home victory, broadcast nationally on Sky Sports.
Dewsnip admitted: “Our aim is to stay in the league. It’s been the same since day one when we started in the Championship. It’s been a great night for Plymouth Argyle Football Club.
“We still have three more games to play and more points to play for.
“The players stuck to the shape we wanted and I am delighted we stuck to the game plan.
“Mustapha’s goal was absolutely terrific. He’s got that finish in him we see if every week in training. It does fly over the railings one or two times but credit to him that was a really good goal.
“The fans from the first minute to the last were just at it. I found myself clapping with them at one point.
“I am absolutely delighted the team recorded a 1-0 win for them.
“We have not had a great record defending set pieces, so we worked on it and got an unbelievable response.
“Thankfully tonight was our night not theirs. I am sure Leicester will have theirs in the future.
“Tomorrow I think I will be watching the scores come in, especially as 24 hours ago we weren’t sitting here with these three points.”
Argyle are unbeaten, securing seven points from a possible nine, since Dewsnip and first team coach Kevin Nancekivell were appointed to manage the relegation-haunted Greens until the end of the season.
