A first-half brace from Adam Stansfield helped Exeter secure a convincing victory at home to Gillingham.

Marcus Stewart's left-wing cross was headed in by Richard Logan to give the home side the lead.

Stansfield doubled his side's lead with his first goal - a low strike following some excellent work from Ryan Harley.

The striker netted his second and Exeter's third from 12 yards to seal the win and inflict a third successive away defeat on the visitors.
