Exeter picked up three crucial points in the battle of two promotion hopefuls as Dean Moxey's deflected strike secured a win over Bradford.

The only goal of the game was somewhat fortuitous, after Moxey had received the ball wide on the Exeter left.

His cross deflected off Paul Arnison, looped over the head of the Rhys Evans in the Bradford goal and nestled in the far corner of the net.

The Bantams dominated the second half, but Exeter defended superbly.
