Exeter staged a rousing comeback in their second home win of the season with a 3-1 victory over Hartlepool.

Goals from Harley, Fleetwood and Dunne secure the win

Exeter staged a rousing comeback to secure their second home win of the season with a 3-1 victory over Hartlepool. The in-form visitors scored after 23 minutes when a long ball over the top completely caught Exeter out. Keeper Oscar Jansson came rushing from his goal only for Matt Taylor to knock the ball past the stranded youngster, leaving Denis Behan with the simplest of tap ins. The Grecians responded 11 minutes later when Marcus Stewart's shot hit the post and Ryan Harley applied a controlled finish on the rebound to level the scores from 15 yards. After the break it was all Exeter, who went in front when Stuart Fleetwood was played in and he raced through before planting a fine shot that went in off the underside of the crossbar for his first goal of the season. Former Arsenal youngster James Dunne wrapped it up in spectacular fashion with a blistering half volley that went in off the post from 25 yards for his first goal in professional football in the last minute.
