Exeter City continue to win

EXETER CITY's immaculate away run continued as goals from Ollie Watkins and Jake Taylor saw off Yeovil Town at Huish Park.

City made three changes for this one, with Jordan Moore-Taylor back in the starting line-up and taking the captain's armband once again. David Noble and Jake Taylor were the other two players to come in, with Christian Ribeiro and David Wheeler on the bench. Yeovil made four changes to their own line-up, with former Grecian Artur Krysiak starting between the sticks.

With Yeovil having kept a large amount of clean sheets in recent weeks, City in form and both teams' managers being nominated for the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month award for March, this was always going to be a competitive affair, but the first ten minutes were cagey; Ollie Watkins' booking for what referee Stephen Martin deemed to be simulation the only action of note. But it was five minutes after that that Watkins redeemed himself; a mazy, tricky run from Lee Holmes left his marker on his backside, and the City winner slipped it to Watkins to pull the trigger for the opener.

Former City keeper Krysiak was called into action twice in the space of a few minutes, as first Jake Taylor dribbled inside before firing a shot which the Polish stopper tipped onto the post, and then David Noble's low drive came his way. Jayden Stockley would ghost his way into the Yeovil box to smash a volley inches over, while Liam Shephard would shoot high and wide at the end of a rare Yeovil attack at the other end.

Yeovil's best chance so far came when Jordan Moore-Taylor was caught out of position ten minutes from the end of the period - a quick passing move led to Francois Zoko firing straight at Bobby Olejnik, who duly made the save. There were a worrying few moments when a collision left Olejnik in a heap five minutes from time, but after an inspection from the City physio, he was deemed okay to continue.
