Exeter City 1-4 Burton Albion,
17th November 2007

City's unbeaten home record came to an abrupt halt as Burton swept them aside in front of 3,823 at St James Park. Exeter deservedly took the lead on the half hour when Jamie Mackie headed home Wayne Carlisle's cross. The away side were level when a corner was cleared only as far as Harrad, who lashed home an equaliser. Another poorly defended corner eight minutes into the second half saw City fall behind as Clare netted. Clare grabbed his second and Burton's third five minutes later when he fired past Andy Marriott. Burton compounded the Grecians' misery in the last minute when a counter attack saw Harrad notch his second and give the Brewers a comprehensive away victory.

City's line up: Marriott; Friend, Edwards, Matt Taylor, Richardson; Moxey, Gill, Cozic, Carlisle; Basham, Mackie.
