Exeter 4-3 Torquay

Ten-man Exeter withstood a brave Torquay fightback to clinch victory in a thrilling derby.

Jamie Mackie fired into the top corner on 23 minutes before Dean Moxey added a second for Exeter 11 minutes later.

Chris Todd's header reduced the deficit but Wayne Carlisle nodded Exeter's third before Daniel Seaborne saw red.

Mackie slotted Exeter's fourth before Torquay fought back with a Lee Phillips header and Kevin Nicholson shot and had two more efforts cleared off the line.
