Luke Harris scored a stunning volley as Exeter City came back from 2-0 down for the second time in four days – this time recording a remarkable 4-2 win at Port Vale.
The home side surged into a strong half-time advantage thanks to a superb strike from Ethan Chislett after the Grecians only half cleared a corner and a drive from Baylee Dipepa five minutes before half time. But the visitors, who took a point away from Leyton Orient on Tuesday night despite being two down heading into the last two minutes, were utterly transformed after the interval.
A deflected effort from Millenic Alli gave the visitors some home just before the hour before substitute Zak Jules drove into Ryan Woods’ corner to make it all square ten minutes later. City weren’t done there, though. Harris finished off a fabulous length of the pitch move with a sweetly struck shot after latching onto a chipped pass from Pedro Boges.
Alli made sure that the three points would be heading back to St. James’ Park with his second of an astonishing afternoon; a routine close-range finish after Ilmari Niskanen had broken clear down the left flank and unselfishly squared it across goal. Exeter are now twelfth in League One, with 58 points from 44 games, after extending their excellent unbeaten run to eight matches.
