Exeter secured their first win in six League One games with a 3-0 victory over 10-man Shrewsbury.
Referee David Rock showed a red card to Shrewsbury winger Jordan Shipley for a two-footed challenge on Ryan Woods in the sixth minute.
And the Grecians took full advantage with Will Aimson, Luke Harris and Jack Aitchison all scoring before half-time.
Exeter's Reece Cole was played through in the 33rd minute but his goalbound effort was blocked for a corner.
From the resultant set piece, Aimson put the Grecians ahead by flicking in at the near post.

Exeter doubled their advantage in the 41st minute. Aitchison drilled a cross into Harris in the middle of the box and after Marko Marosi parried away the midfielder's first attempt, he reacted quickly and fired home from close range.
Aitchison was in the thick of the action again in the fifth minute of first-half added time and the forward hit a fantastic strike from just inside the box which rippled the back of the net.
Shrewsbury substitute Aiden O'Brien went through one-on-one with Viljami Sinisalo with just over 10 minutes remaining, but the goalkeeper parried it clear as the visitors completed a comprehensive victory.
