Exeter boss Paul Tisdale spoke of his pride and saluted the quality of his team’s second goal in a deserved victory at windswept Edgeley Park. The Grecians are now unbeaten in five games and the three points lifted the club still further away from the League One drop zone. 

Stoppage-time goals from substitutes Adam Stansfield and Richard Logan handed the visitors victory, after Stockport had finally grabbed themselves an 81st minute equaliser from Michael Rose.

Exeter led at half-time thanks to a 39th minute opener from Ryan Harley.

Tisdale said: “After that performance I’m very proud of the players.

“That’s five games unbeaten now, thankfully it’s looking like we’ve found our form now.

“The conditions were dreadful here today, and Stockport tried to stop us playing a bit, butall my lads put plenty of work in and we were very brave at the end.

“Our second goal was a Premier League goal. It was a great touch and pass from Ryan Harley and Adam Stansfield sticks the ball away superbly.

“But we have had a fair share of late goals go in against us so far this season, so it’s nice to finally turn the tables around for once.

“We went for it at the end, we weren’t lucky and it was no surprise when we did get our second goal.

“Stockport County had a few chances late on in the game, but we produced some wonderful defending at times.

“We then put two up front in those latter stages, although it did come down to that bit of quality in the end.”
