Last updated on 5 hours ago5 hours ago.From the section League Onecomments7 Sam Nombe celebrated his 24th birthday in style as he bundled in a stoppage-time winner for Exeter against Fleetwood. Exeter started well and Cheick Diabate headed a great chance wide when he was left completely unmarked from a corner, but Fleetwood grew into the game and went in front in the 28th minute. Carlos Mendes Gomes tried his luck from distance and the ball took a huge deflection to leave Jamal Blackman wrongfooted. However, Exeter hit straight back when Jay Stansfield won the ball in midfield, broke forward and fed Nombe. He crossed back to Stansfield, who finished from close range. Stansfield was denied a second at the start of the second half when his header was saved by Jay Lynch in the Fleetwood goal, while Drew Baker saw a shot deflect just wide at the other end. Lynch palmed a Tim Dieng free-kick around the post as Exeter chased a winner, before the Fleetwood goalkeeper denied the Frenchman again from the resulting corner. However, in the third minute of stoppage time, Exeter won it when Josh Key did brilliantly on the right and crossed to the near post where Nombe was on hand to turn the ball in from close range.

18:00Great tirbaround. Before hilarious Mr Uttoxeter turns up, terrible shame your lot threw away a two goal lead. Safe trip back to Cornwall as you treat us to your 100th identical joke which wasn't funny even the first time x40BComment posted by basil today at 17 52basil
