Exeter City 3 - 1 Oxford United League One side Exeter City made history by reaching the fourth round of the FA Cup for the first time in 44 years, defeating a heavily rotated Oxford United from the Championship. Author - Thomas J Oxford struck first, with Dane Scarlett threading a sharp pass into the six-yard box for Matt Phillips, who finished neatly with his left foot. However, the U's couldn’t hold onto their advantage as Demetri Mitchell turned the game around with two goals before half-time, putting Exeter in control. Vincent Harper added a third for the Grecians with a precise low strike, before Oxford’s afternoon worsened when substitute Tyler Goodrham was shown a red card for elbowing Jake Richards in the face. Oxford had started brightly, with Louie Sibley—one of eight changes from their last match against Preston—forcing a save from Exeter keeper Joe Whitworth in the opening minute.

It's shaping up to be a dramatic fight for promotion from League One. Let's explore some of the key moments from matches on December 3rd.

Wrexham faced an early setback when goalkeeper Callum Burton was forced off with an injury midway through the first half, replaced by Mark Howard.

Exeter City 2 - 1  Barrow Matt Jay's late winner saw Exeter City gain promotion from League Two as they came from a goal down to beat Barrow 2-1 in a tense affair at St James Park. The hosts fell behind to a Cameron Dawson own goal after Remeao Hutton's long throw-in from the left appeared to go straight in. Kieran Phillips hit the bar for Exeter 15 minutes later before the striker superbly broke to get the equaliser. Exeter then struggled to create any chances after the break until homegrown skipper Matt Jay coolly finished at the far post from Josh Key's cross from the right. The win sees Exeter return to League One after a decade in the fourth tier of English football. Next season they will pit their wits against the likes of Derby County and Barnsley, who have both been recently relegated from the Championship. Reaction Pádraig Amond tweeted: "Finally promoted from League Two after years of heartbreak. What a night and what a group of people." Another play...
