Josh Magennis gets his deserved goal and shows his worth.

Josh Magennis has had a very busy week.

Josh Magennis has had a very busy week. On Tuesday night, the 34-year-old scored his 12th goal in Northern Ireland’s 5-0 victory over Bulgaria, marking his 81st cap. Then, on Thursday night, the seasoned attacker came off the bench to score his first goal for Exeter City, helping the Grecians go six games unbeaten in a 2-0 win over Shrewsbury Town.

Kamari Doyle put City ahead in the ninth minute in front of the Sky TV cameras, but Gary Caldwell’s side struggled in the first half. However, everything changed after the break, when Magennis came on and played a much more composed second half. Fellow half-time substitute Jack Aitchison set up the striker for his first goal since joining from Wigan Athletic in the summer, tapping into an empty net from close range. City moved up to fourth place in League One with the win, which also set a club record for sixth consecutive clean sheet.
