Exeter were reduced to 10 men when debutant Ed Turns was sent off with four minutes left after being given a straight red for a late tackle on Morgan Gibbs-White.

But Romon Sosa and Taiwo Awoniyi turned the game on the head by half-time, but a Willy Bony own goal, deflecting a Magennis effort past his own keeper, after the break set-up a cracker.

Sosa, who scored in the third round win over Luton, was at it again by riding a couple of Exeter tackles after being played in by Ibrahim Sangare before expertly placing a shot past Whitworth.
