York stretched their unbeaten run to five games with an impressive first half performance against out of form Exeter.

The hosts went ahead early in the first half after John McCombe headed home Adam Reed's corner.

The Minstermen doubled their lead when Michael Coulson turned in the penalty area and fired home from close range.

Exeter struck back two minutes later when Scot Bennett latched onto a loose ball from Jimmy Keohane's corner.

Exeter have now lost their last three games, whilst York are unbeaten in five.

York City manager Nigel Worthington told BBC Radio York:

"It's three great points and we've had to work very hard for it. It's probably the hardest I've worked to try and keep them going and get them over the line.

"In the first 20 to 25 minutes it was how we like to play, at the tempo we like to play. We got two goals but then we got comfortable and it got tired and scrappy.

"When you take your foot off the accelerator it's hard to get it back on, but you've got to give the players credit.

"We stuck at it and saw the job through and it's a fantastic three points."
