Exeter 1-1 Crawley: Brennan Dickenson keeps Grecians in title hunt
Saturday 29 February 2020 19:03, UK
Exeter were indebted to Brennan Dickenson as he struck late in the day to salvage a 1-1 draw against Crawley.
Crawley created a great early chance when Ashley Nadesan was left totally unmarked in the box, but Lewis Ward rushed off his line to make a brilliant save as the striker got his shot away.
Randell Williams curled a shot just wide of the far post and Ryan Bowman headed wide when unmarked at the near post as Exeter began to get on top.
However, Crawley went in front on 34 minutes when a simple through-ball exploited a huge hole in the Exeter defence and Nadesan made no mistake in lifting the ball over Ward and into the net.
Exeter responded with a long-range Pierce Sweeney shot that struck the post and Jake Taylor also headed against the woodwork early in the second half.
