LEAGUE TWO![]()
FORMER GRECIANS SKIPPER AIMSON SINKS EXETER
Exeter lead through Cox and have most of the ball, but Garbutt equalises and Aimson wins it with two minutes left
Exeter City had most of the ball and 16 shots to Salford City's nine. It didn't matter. Will Aimson, a former Exeter captain, won it for the leaders from 25 yards two minutes from time. It was the 32-year-old centre-back's first goal for Salford, their eighth league win in a row, and a 2-1 that was hard on Exeter.
For most of the first half Exeter were the better side. A poor backpass let Sonny Cox in, and Will Norris brought him down a yard outside the box. The Salford keeper was perhaps lucky to see only yellow, and he saved Luca Woodhouse's free-kick. Ten minutes later the visitors were ahead. Harry Kite won the ball in midfield and found Cox wide, and his low shot across goal went in, with Taylor Perry bundling it over the line to make sure. It went down as Cox's, his second of the season.
