Albie Morgan's stylish double guided Blackpool to a comfortable 2-0 victory over struggling Exeter.
The Tangerines started on top and spurned a fine chance to take the lead when Jordan Rhodes' 25th-minute penalty was saved by Viljami Sinisalo, the Finnish goalkeeper making amends after fouling the striker.
The Aston Villa loanee then tipped Kyle Joseph's long-range effort around the post, but he could do nothing to stop Morgan's stunning strike from Karamoko Dembele's lay-off six minutes before the break.
Zak Jules saw a shot go wide as the Grecians sought a response, but their task became harder when Morgan doubled his tally early in the second half with a fine volley into the bottom corner through a crowd of players.
Exeter rarely threatened until Jack Aitchison was twice denied by Dan Grimshaw in quick succession, with Jack Harris firing over shortly afterwards.
But Blackpool held on with a minimum of fuss to stay in touch with the play-off places and extend Exeter's winless away league run to nine matches.
