Christian Ribeiro late equaliser saves point for Exeter City against Burton Albion

By Sam McEvoy, Reporter | 06 December 2014

Christian Ribeiro scores a late equaliser to cancel out Jacob Blyth's 60th-minute strike, earning Exeter City a point at St James Park against Burton Albion.

Christian Ribeiro's late equaliser cancelled out Jacob Blyth's 60th-minute strike, earning Exeter City a point at St James Park against Burton Albion this afternoon.

After a goalless first half, Blyth turned in Damien McCrory's cross on the 60th minute.

Exeter applied plenty of pressure before the goal, with John Mousinho doing enough to put off Graham Cummins as he failed to convert his chance to put the hosts ahead.

Albion looked to be heading for all three points, but Ribeiro headed in a Matt Grimes cross with three minutes left of normal time to save a point for the hosts.

The win would have put Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's side joint-top of League Two with Wycombe Wanderers, but they have to settle for a point and fourth place. The point moves Exeter City up to eighth, a place just outside of the playoffs positions.
