City hold league leaders

Exeter City held table topping Portsmouth to a goalless draw at home last night.

The Grecians frustrated Pompey, and perhaps felt they could have edged the game in which Ilmari Niskanen hitting the post was the closest either side came.

"It was a real 50/50 game, they had the real possession in the first half and had one good opportunity," city manager Gary Caldwell said. 

"Second half we got more on the front foot and create two good chances when Imi hit the post and then Dion couldn't sort his feet out. To get that level of performance and commitment against the league leaders, we'll certainly take it.

"I am delighted but I still want a little more in possession, we can be better. This result and last two performances certainly build belief going into the next two games.

"The crowd were fantastic - filling out the stadium twice over Christmas, and you can feel the positivity coming back."
