Shrewsbury Town lost for the eighth time this season as they were beaten 2-0 at home by high-flying Exeter City.
Mistakes have cost Shrewsbury numerous times this season, and it was another individual error inside the first 10 minutes that led to Exeter taking the lead.Toto Nsiala tried to beat Brighton loanee Kamari Doyle on the edge of his box, but Doyle took the ball off him and finished brilliantly across Toby Savin.Funso Ojo, still searching for his first Salop goal, latched onto a ball through from Mal Benning, but his strike was brilliantly saved by Joe Whitworth.
He produced a wonderful bit of skill to get away from his man on the halfway line. He ran through on goal, and instead of shooting when he looked like he was certain to score, he passed to Mal Benning and he saw a shot blocked.From the replays, it looked like it was stopped by Ryan Woods' hand and so Shrews should have had a penalty.
The second half was much more of an even encounter. Jack Aitchison, who came on at the break, should have doubled Exeter's lead when the ball fell to him just inside the box - but he shot wide. Tommi O'Reilly came on for Leo Castledine with just over 20 minutes to go, but Town were unable to change the momentum in the game.
