In a thrilling match, Jack Bycroft (24), the reserve goalkeeper for Exeter City, scored his first professional goal, equalizing in stoppage time during a 3-3 draw against Stockport County. This crucial goal not only marked a historic moment for Bycroft but also kept Exeter's hopes of surviving in League One alive. Interim manager Matt Taylor praised Bycroft's 'incredible eye for goal' and expressed his desire for the team to secure two clean sheets in their remaining matches. Since stepping in for the injured Joe Whitworth, Bycroft has played a vital role, helping Exeter lose only one of their last five matches. Currently, they sit in the final relegation spot, needing to overcome a two-point deficit to AFC Wimbledon in their upcoming games against Burton Albion and Bradford City. Taylor emphasized the importance of fighting for survival and instilling confidence in the players and fans as they navigate this challenging season.
