Then, after Aldershot had equalised, Banton restored the Pilgrims' lead in the 40th minute with a fine finish.
They were Banton's first goals of his senior career, and could not have come at a better time for Argyle.
He told Herald Sport: "We knew the importance of getting a win so to get the three points, especially away from home with a great support, is massive."
Banton's first goal came after Argyle captain Conor Hourihane played a short free-kick to him.
He said: "To be honest, I didn't think Conor was going to play across but he eventually did and I just got my head down and put my foot through it.
"I think it took a deflection (off Aldershot defender Sonny Bradley) but I'm still claiming it."
