Exeter City goalkeeper Jack Bycroft scored a header in the sixth minute of stoppage time to rescue a point against Stockport County on Saturday. The 24-year-old shot-stopper ventured forward for a late corner and met Danny Andrew's delivery to equalise at St James Park, per The Guardian. The result keeps the Grecians 21st in League One as they continue their battle against relegation.
Stockport led twice during the match through Malik Mothersille and Josh Stokes, but Reece Cole and Timur Tutierov scored to bring Exeter level. Odin Bailey restored the visitors' lead in the 77th minute before Bycroft's late intervention, according to Devon Live. The dropped points for Stockport also confirmed promotion for Cardiff City.
Interim manager Matt Taylor praised Bycroft for his commitment to the set-piece. The goalkeeper has served as the first-choice option since March 2026 following an injury to Joe Whitworth. Exeter now face Burton Albion in their next fixture as they seek to avoid the drop.
