Snaps of the defeat to Pools
Here are a few photos by Steve Ayers at the 3-0 reverse against Hartlepool United at St James Park.The Grecians fell behind 20 minutes in as Jack Compton swung a ball in for Jack Baldwin to head in.
City were trailing by two early in the second half when Luke James produced a classy lob after controlling a raking ball from Compton.
Pools winger Compton then got himself onto the scoresheet when he hammered in a loose ball inside the box, to compound the Grecians' misery.
