Tom Nichols's header has given Exeter City a 1-0 half-time lead against Accrington Stanley this afternoon.

Christian Ribeiro saw an effort blocked for Exeter before Lee Molyneux fired an ambitious effort from around 35 yards wide on the half-hour mark.

Molyneux went closer two minutes later but this time his on-target attempt was well saved by Exeter goalkeeper James Hamon.

Nichols then gave the home side the lead when he headed home Ryan Hartley's cross on 34 minutes.
