Exeter City manager Matt Taylor has given his reaction as the Grecians make the long trip back from York empty handed after a 2-1 defeat.

Newby opened the scoring early for the hosts following a slick move, before Malcolm doubled the lead in the second-half with a towering header. Captain Jack Fitzwater made it 2 in 2 as he headed home late but City couldn't find an equaliser.

Speaking after the match, Matt said: "We've had the chances at the end of the game. We wanted the game to look more like that more often. We started softly and showed them too much respect and gave them too much space and we paid the price in terms of their opening goal.

"After 20 minutes of the game, we started to grow into it, started to get a foothold, started to be more aggressive with our play and make better use of our ball. And then it became a not an even game by any means, but a more game where we were more competitive. We still, unfortunately, come out second best in too many moments of the game, including their second goal."
