The Harambee Stars right winger was on song but could not help Exeter avoid crashing out of their second cup competition in one week against Wigan days after losing to Michael Carrick’s Middlesbrough.
Vincent Harper had to endure the heartbreak of getting knocked out of the FA Cup by Wigan despite both player and club being dominant for the whole duration of the match but lost 2-0 to the 2013 cup winners.
Earlier in the week, Exeter put in a spirited fight but were unable to get the better of Michael Carrick’s Middlesbrough, losing 3-2 on Wednesday night.
It was a case of deja vu following Latics' 2-0 win in the league, with Exeter on top for virtually the entire 90 minutes, but lacking any penetration in the final third and Wigan scoring twice on the counter-attack.

STARS ABROAD Could little known former Newcastle United prodigy be Harambee Stars’ solution to problematic wing position?
The left winger started his career at Newcastle United and climbed up the ranks from the Youth team to the Under 18 and finally the Under 21 side.
Exeter made a bright start to the game, with Harper himself seeing a shot deflect wide and Alex Hartridge heading wide from a Harry Kite cross.
Wigan's first attempt came in the 26th minute when Scott Smith let fly from distance, but Vili Sinisalo made a superb fingertip save to divert the ball over the bar.
James Scott fired Exeter's best chance over the bar after a great pull back from Yanic Wildschut, while Ryan Trevitt scuffed a shot into the arms of Sam Tickle, but it was Wigan that went in front after 58 minutes when Jordan Jones saw a shot saved by Sinisalo and Thelo Aasgaard slammed in the rebound.
Wigan were happy to let Exeter have the ball and they completed the win in the 87th minute when Steven Sessegnon curled a stunning shot into the top corner from 25 yards for his first goal for the club.
