After winning the manager of the month award for the first time in his 11-year reign as Exeter City, Paul Tisdale successfully banished the curse associated with the prize as the Grecians defeated Forest Green Rovers.
In what was the first ever league meeting between the two sides, City came out on top winning 3-1, thanks in no small part to a brace from Reuben Reid.
Pierce Sweeney opened the scoring for the Grecians after four minutes before Reid opened his account for the afternoon 14 minutes later with his fifth goal of the season after Lee Holmes had had a shot blocked by Forest Green skipper Dale Bennett.
Reid later added his sixth of the campaign in the 53rd minute, with Holmes once again acting as the provider. Forest Green later pulled one back through Shamir Mullings, who netted his first Football League goal, but it proved to be a mere consolation as the Grecians continued their fine start to the campaign.
The win puts City three points clear at the top of League Two ahead of second placed Accrington Stanley.
