Exeter City moved back up into the automatic promotion places as they recorded a 2-1 victory at home to Stevenage.
The Grecians were the better side for the majority of the match and deservedly led 2-0 midway through the second half through goals from Lloyd James and Pierce Sweeney, but the visitors kept battling and set up a nervy finish with a volley from Matt Godden 11 minutes from time.

City manager Paul Tisdale made three changes to the side that beat Forest Green Rovers in an FA Cup replay on Tuesday night.
Exeter City Football Club’s first-team players brought early Christmas magic to the children and teenagers on Bramble Ward at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, by paying them a special festive visit.
The players delivered dozens of bears, toys, calendars, footballs, signed merchandise, selection boxes and chocolates to the young patients who are sadly spending the festive period on the ward.
The players who visited the ward were captain Jordan Moore-Taylor, Dean Moxey, Jake Taylor, Lloyd James, Craig Woodman, Ryan Brunt and Robbie Simpson.

Exeter’s search for a first European win over Leinster will continue for a day or two yet, but the Chiefs will ultimately be kicking themselves after letting a golden opportunity pass them by.
For at least an hour, Rob Baxter’s men were the dominant force in Dublin, producing a solid shift in this pulsating Round Four encounter.
Sadly, their hopes of downing the three-time champions at the Aviva Stadium evaporated late on as Luke McGrath’s late score, plus the boot of Isa Nacewa, ensured the home side maintained their unblemished record in Pool 3.
