The Grecians earn a point in east London to stay 5th

Report: Dag & Red 1 Exeter City 1

Exeter City and Dagenham & Redbridge played out a 1-1 draw at Victoria Road, in a tempestuous game in the capital.

The breakthrough came midway into the first half for the Daggers, as Josh Scott profited from a breakdown in communication amongst the City rearguard and put the ball into an empty net.

Dagenham spurned opportunities to put daylight between the teams in the first half, and so Sam Parkin’s superb header in a much-improved second period brought the scores level to send the Grecians back to Devon with a point.

In the absence of Jamie Reid and John O’Flynn, youngster Matt Jay was called into the matchday side once again and took a seat on the bench. Matt Grimes made his first start on opposition soil for the first team, while David Wheeler took a place amongst the subs.
