NORTHAMPTON TOWN v EXETER CITY

A great Exeter City sequence came to an end at Northampton, where the visiting team crashed to a four-one defeat, the first the club has suffered in an away game this season.

Northampton: Ansell, Smalley, Barron; Candlin, Duckhouse, Davie; English, Dixon, McCulloch, Murphy, Mitchell.
Exeter City: Singleton; Clark, Rowe;
Harrower, Goddard, Davey; McClelland, Smith, Dare, Mackay, Regan.

The turning point of the match came in the 43rd minute when Davey attempted to pass back to Singleton. The slow moving ball, which was intended for the goalkeeper, was intercepted by McCulloch, who whipped a low shot into the corner of the net, and that was almost the finish of Exeter. Resourceful and compact before the interval, the defence crumbled afterwards. English increased the Cobblers' lead in the 53rd min ute. Mitchell missed a penalty in the 67th, but the scoring was continued in the 71st and 80th minutes by Dixon and English, who had a highly-developed sense of opportunism in this game. Exeter's only score was an angled shot by Regan four minutes from the finish. Result:-
Northampton Town 4 Exeter City 1.
