They fell behind to an early goal and had to work very hard to get back into it and saw several chances saved by the keeper.

They finally broke down Exeter as Dan Kempson picked up possession from a short corner before advancing to the edge of the area and rifling a beautiful left-footed finish into the top of the net.

Within two minutes, Joe Manners made it 2-1 with a close-range finish.

After the half time break, Chichester benefitted from sloppy defending with striker George Landais pouncing to make it 3-1.

In an action-packed last 15 minutes, Chichester were very sloppy and conceded two goals. It was left to Landais to pop up in the 92nd minute to gain the three points for Chichester.

CHI UNI: Binfield, Kachingwe, Miller, Hawker, Gristwood, Bell, Hoardley, Kempson, Landais, Manners, Atkinson.
