Marcus Harness fired the hosts in front after 18 minutes with a well-taken finish from just outside the area to score his first league goal for the club.

Huddersfield’s lead lasted just two minutes, however, as Reece Cole smashed an unstoppable strike into the top corner after turning into space 20 yards from goal.

Bojan Radulovic restored Huddersfield’s advantage two minutes before the break, tapping home from point-blank range at the back post to finish off Cameron Ashia’s ball across the face of goal.

Exeter pushed to regain parity throughout the second half but looked set to come up short after Josh Feeney blocked another Cole effort and Lee Nicholls smothered Wareham’s shot as he raced on to a stray ball.

But the Grecians finally got their leveller two minutes from time as Wareham flicked Ilmari Niskanen’s cross from the right wing into the bottom corner to earn his side a deserved point.
