Exeter 2-1 Carlisle: Jake Caprice scores rare goal as Grecians win at St James Park
Saturday 20 November 2021 18:21, UK
Jake Caprice's first goal in 321 career appearances helped Exeter to a 2-1 win against struggling Carlisle at St James Park.
The full-back's collector's item gave the Grecians a 2-0 lead before the 10-man Cumbrians staged a spirited late fightback.
Carlisle looked the better of the two teams early on, but it was Exeter who created the first clear chance with Jevani Brown firing tamely at Mark Howard from 20 yards.
The visitors were reduced to 10 men when Jon Mellish was shown a straight red card for a poor tackle on Exeter midfielder Archie Collins.
Exeter applied all the pressure at the start of the second half and finally broke the deadlock on the hour when Jonathan Grounds' low cross was turned in from close range by Sam Nombe for his eighth goal of the season.
