Bournemouth gave their hopes of survival a huge boost with victory at promotion hopefuls Exeter.

Adam Stansfield gave Exeter the lead when he ran through the Cherries defence and drilled the ball home.

Danny Holland capitalised on Paul Jones' howler to bring the Cherries level before Brett Pitman ran half the length of the pitch to put them ahead.

Some more shocking defending allowed Jeff Goulding to cross for Pitman to score his second from close range.
