Jay Stansfield scored his first Exeter City goal in 23 matches this afternoon as Gary Caldwell’s Grecians fired five past Accrington Stanley at St. James’ Park.
The on-loan Fulham forward rounded off the scoring with an emotional first goal in front of the Big Bank that still chants the name of his late father Adam, an Exeter legend, with ten minutes to go. The 20 year-old latched onto a fine through ball from Josh Sparkes, cut inside and scored his first goal at the historic home of his boyhood club.
Stansfield had already created the fourth goal for substitute Jack Scott, squaring for the striker to score with one of his first touches after stepping off the substitutes bench, as City won their third successive home game. Exeter will look to extend their excellent home form against promotion-chasing Barnsley, who include Fulham full back Ziyad Larkeche amongst their squad, on Tuesday night.
