Grecians claim first home win

Exeter recorded their first home win back in the Football League with a well-deserved 2-1 win over Accrington. On-loan Blackburn striker Jamie Clarke opened the scoring when he cut in from the right before firing a low shot past Paul Jones after 11 minutes to put the visitors in front. But the home side responded as Matt Gill gambled at the far post to flick the ball past goalkeeper Kenny Arthur to level matters in the in first-half stoppage time. Grecians striker Richard Logan twice missed great chances but Ben Watson guided the ball superbly over Arthur from 15 yards to seal the win in the 68th minute.
