Gravesend 1-1 Exeter

New Exeter boss Alex Inglethorpe saw his side hauled back for a 1-1 draw at Gravesend on Saturday.

Santos Gaia had put the visitors ahead after pouncing on Alex Jeannin's curling free-kick mid-way through the first half.

After the break Jay Saunders, Steve McKimm and Skinner all fired close as Gravesend looked for an equaliser.

But it was Roy Essandoh who proved the hero, levelling up with a 25-yard volley late on.
