Boss hails Monkhouse
Manager Mick Wadsworth praised Andy Monkhouse after the midfielder scored twice to earn Hartlepool a 2-1 win at Exeter.
The Grecians failed to deal with a long ball forward and Monkhouse lashed the ball past Ben Hamer from the edge of the box for the first goal.
And Monkhouse added a second when Billy Jones' woeful attempt to play offside led to the Pools striker drilling the ball in off the far post to double the lead.
"Andy Monkhouse scored a couple of weeks ago, which got him off the mark, and he scored two very good goals here," said Wadsworth. "I thought they were very wary of him and I am pleased for Andy. He has played himself through a poor spell and responded with two goals."
Wadsworth added: "I am thrilled it is over, I will tell you that. It was a real rollercoaster of a ride for both sides with chances at both ends. I thought we had the better of the game and the better of the chances."
