Longstaff opened the scoring for Brighton from a pass by Hastings, but Bell equalised, and at the interval the game stood at one each. Brighton showed superior form in the second half, and Jones, from a free kick, restored their lead. Subsequently the Exeter City goal had several narrow escapes, Crossthwaite making a number of excellent saves.

Brighton are now top of the League with 47 points, followed by the Rangers (44) and Crystal Palace (41). Exeter (30 points) are 15th.
