Joe Anyinsah's brace had given the Cumbrians a 2-0 half-time lead in Tuesday's League One clash at St James Park but the Devon hosts made a spirited second-half fightback to level the scores before Carlisle substitute Richard Offiong grabbed an unlikely winner.[LNB]Abbott said: "It would have been a long journey home had we only taken a point, but it will make our trip a lot easier now. That game probably sums us up because it is a difficult place to come.[LNB]"Exeter have rocked us back in the second half and we got nervous and edgy. They may feel aggrieved not to have got something out of the game, but we have character and we have honesty.[LNB]"We would have seen it as two points dropped so we are relieved and happy to be going back with three points. If we had got a third we could have run away with it but we have emerged just about deserved winners, I think."[LNB][LNB]
