Cox helps Exeter get rare away win
Exeter City striker Sonny Cox hopes he can move on after illness as he gets his first goal in more than a year.
Sonny Cox, a 22-year-old striker for Exeter City, scored his first goal in over a year during the team's 1-0 victory over Shrewsbury Town on Saturday. This win marked Exeter's first away triumph since January and their first point on the road since April. Cox, who has only made two starts all season, expressed relief at overcoming his recent health issues, which included allergic reactions that forced him to miss a match and be substituted in another.
The goal came eight minutes after Cox's substitution, from a corner kick, as he marked his opponent in the six-yard box and led his team with optimism and belief. Exeter manager Matt Taylor praised Cox's performance, noting the significance of his goal in the team's resurgence.
