Nic Sestaret scored one of Exeter's five tries on his first return to Brickfields

Nic Sestaret scored one of Exeter's five tries on his return as his old team Plymouth Albion went down in front of a record 6,871 crowd at Brickfields.

First-half tries from flanker Tom Johnson and lock Lewis Stevenson helped earn the Chiefs a 20-14 interval lead.

Martin Rice got Albion's one try, aided by three Keiran Hallett penalties.

But second-half tries from wingers Josh Drauniniu and Sestaret, plus centre Matt Cornwell, all converted by Gareth Steenson, completed a comfortable win.

Steenson had also converted both first-half tries, along with two penalties, to end up with a 16-point individual haul.

Exeter's win keeps them in second place, five points behind leaders Leeds, who enjoyed a big away win of their own, 52-7 at Sedgley Park.

Albion drop three places to 10th , thanks to Rotherham Titans' 32-28 win at Cornish Pirates on Sunday.
