Jayden Stockley nets hat-trick as Exeter edge Oldham
Posted Sunday, December 23, 2018 by PA
Jayden Stockley’s clinical hat-trick inspired Exeter to an action-packed 3-2 comeback victory over Oldham at Boundary Park.
The striker made it 14 league goals for the season as his side strengthened their position in the League Two promotion chase.
Oldham went in front after 12 minutes as right-back Tom Hamer crossed to the far post and Sam Surridge headed home acrobatically from close range.
Exeter levelled seven minutes before the break when Stockley opened his account by producing a deft near-post header to convert Nicky Law’s corner.
Oldham struck again just after the restart with Callum Lang cutting on to his right foot and drilling the ball into the far corner from 12 yards, but Stockley’s second came after 64 minutes as he lashed home a superb first-time shot from Lee Holmes’ pass.
His hat-trick was soon complete when an unmarked Stockley stooped eight yards out to net a simple header from another Holmes assist.
Latics, who were denied what seemed a clear late penalty for a foul on Jordan Lyden, slipped to their first defeat in seven league games.
