A calamitous own goal by Wycombe captain Jack Grimmer gave Exeter a 1-0 win at Adams Park.

The Chairboys went into the contest with no wins in the last six league outings, with their most recent triumph being against Bolton back in April.

They made three changes to the team that drew against Doncaster on Saturday, but it was the Grecians who looked more promising going forward.

City, who have only lost one of their last five games against Wycombe since returning to League One in 2022, began well as Jack Fitzwater forced Mikki van Sas into a brilliant save just two minutes in.

Ethan Brierley fired a shot wide, while Ilmari Niskanen, Tom Dean and Sonny Cox caused mayhem in the box with their crosses.

For Wycombe, their best chances came via the left-hand side and through an unlikely source.

Centre back Anders Hagelskjaer, who was making his home debut 222 days after joining the club, first had a snapshot saved by Joe Whitworth in the Exeter goal, before his header was easily gathered.

Wycombe went into the break without scoring in the first half for the 22nd time in 25 matches under head coach Mike Dodds.

Exeter sat back during the second period as they allowed Wanderers to have the ball, which led to Lowry, Dan Udoh and substitute Armando Junior Quitirna, but to no avail.

Then, with seven minutes left, Niskanen's innocuous cross, which Van Sas seemed to have covered, was headed into his own net by Grimmer.
