BBC Match report –

Lee Phillips' brace gave Exeter the win at Gravesend in a game which saw both sides have a man sent off.

A minute before half-time Phillips latched onto Andrew Taylor's right-wing cross to slam home from close range.

The visitors started to dominate but then had Les Afful sent off for a crunching tackle on Danny Slater and Gravesend came back into the match.

Phillips doubled the lead from the spot after Ross Graham-Smith was dismissed for bringing down Jon Challinor.
