Kamari Doyle and Josh Magennis guide Exeter to victory

Kamari Doyle

Kamari Doyle and Josh Magennis were on target to help Exeter to a 2-0 away win at Shrewsbury and move them up to fourth in the League One table.

The victory means the Grecians take their unbeaten run to six games.

Toto Nsiala gifted Exeter a goal in the opening stages. The centre-back was disposed by Doyle, whose powerful shot found the bottom corner.

Shrewsbury came close just past the 20-minute mark but Funso Ojo shot straight at Joe Whitworth, whose parried save found John Marquis, and his short-range effort was pushed away for a corner by Whitworth.

Just before half time, Marquis threaded a ball into Jordan Rossiter in the danger zone, but Whitworth saved his effort.

Jack Aitchinson picked the ball in the middle of the box just before the hour mark but his effort went way wide.

Tristan Crama found Aitchinson in the box in the 65th minute. The forward drove a low ball to the back post for Magennis to fire home, which sealed the Grecians’ victory and concluded a game of limited chances.
