(Pope 40, 62)
TOM Pope continued an incredible run of form with a two-goal blast which clinched Vale's fifth successive away win.
The striker overtook his best-ever season's tally by making it 11 for the season – from just 13 games – with a goal in each half.
Jennison Myrie-Williams made the first with a breath-taking run from the halfway line, floating over a cross towards the far post where Pope headed home.
Ashley Vincent followed suit with a dazzling run of his own after the break and Pope did the business yet again.

FORM GUIDE:

WHO WE'D LIKE TO BUY
Jamie Cureton: The fox in the box might be getting on in years, but his predatory instincts are still strong.
WHO TO BOO
John O'Flynn: During his Barnet days, he scored both goals to condemn the Valiants to a 2-0 home defeat in February 2010.
MAN IN THE MIDDLE
Gary Sutton (Lincolnshire): Experienced official was in charge of Vale's 3-0 win at Bristol Rovers in October 2011.
PROBABLE TEAMS
Port Vale: Neal, Duffy, Purse, McCombe, Jones, Myrie-Williams, Burge, Loft, Vincent, Pope, Andrew.
Exeter: Evans, Coles, Woodman, Baldwin, Bennett, Amankwaah, Gosling, Doherty, Molesley, Cureton, O'Flynn.
PREDICTION
Tom Pope ends his five-game spell without a goal by hitting the winner after Darren Purse's header is cancelled out by Jamie Cureton.
