BBC match report –

Leigh had to settle for a draw after Wayne Maden's goal threatened to cause an upset against high-flying Exeter.

Leigh nearly took the lead when Gareth Sheldon's error forced his own keeper James Bittner into a reflex save.

The home side did go infront when the outstanding Maden drilled home after 41 minutes.

But striker James Coppinger hauled Exeter level after 58 minutes with a neat finish from inside the box.
