Exeter City have been relegated to League Two after a 2-1 loss to Bradford City.

They went into the game knowing they needed to better Leyton Orient's result and as they were held against Burton Albion 2-2, a win would have ensured their safety.

The visitors went ahead through Kayden Jackson and ex Plymouth Argyle man Antoni Sarcevic doubled the lead.

Time was running out when Josh Magennis got a late goal which turned out to be nothing more than a consolation.
