Fleetwood tamed by Lions

Stuart Fleetwood played for just under 70 minutes as 10-man Exeter City fought back to claim a point with a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw with Millwall on Tuesday evening.

The Charlton striker, on loan with the Grecians for a month, was substituted for Adam Stansfield in the 68th minute, with Exeter trailing to David Martin's first-half penalty.

Exeter's cause wasn't helped when Steve Tully was sent off eight minutes into the second half for a second bookable offence.

But Stansfield turned out to be the Grecians' hero when his cross eluded visiting goalkeeper David Forde and went in off the far post just two minutes from time.

Grecians boss Paul Tisdale said afterwards: "I'm delighted, but I said to the players afterwards that I feel a mixture of emotions. I don't know if I'm cross, happy, sad, miserable, delighted. I'm disappointed we didn't get a winner in the last two minutes because I thought we could have done.

"It was a farce of a game because of the conditions, but to come out of it with a point after being down to 10 men and being a goal down, I think we'll take that."

Exeter will next be in action when they travel to Milton Keynes Dons in the second round of the FA Cup on Saturday (3pm), before travelling to Bristol Rovers on Tuesday (7.45pm).

Rovers will have Chris Dickson available for selection after the striker was forced to sit out Tuesday night's 4-2 loss to Charlton under the terms of his loan switch from The Valley.
