BBC Match- 

Exeter City's fine unbeaten start to the season continued at Haig Avenue.

Southport had the better of the first half but Carl Baker and Terry Fearns failed to take advantage.

Craig Farrell fired Exeter ahead just after half time and Lee Phillips doubled the lead moments later after being set-up by Farrell.

Phillips returned the favour and passed for Farrell to crash home Exeter's third as the Grecians maintained top spot in the Nationwide Conference.
