Hereford 1-2 Exeter

Andrew Taylor's superb free-kick gave Exeter their fourth win on the trot as they saw off promotion-chasing Hereford 2-1 at Edgar Street.

The Grecians took the lead when Adam Stansfield turned Taylor's free-kick into his own net when trying to clear.

The Bulls pushed hard for an equaliser and it was Stansfield who provided it with a brilliant left- footed free-kick.

But the visitors claimed the points shortly afterwards when Taylor curled into the top-left corner from 25-yards.
