It was nearly four decades since City hit double figures but we matched that 10-1 scoreline from 1987 in a ruthless third round victory over the Grecians.
Max Alleyne, Rodri and two own goals gave the Blues a 4-0 lead at half-time and it only get better after the break.
New signing Antoine Semenyo set up a fifth for Rico Lewis before getting on the scoresheet himself.
Goals from Tijjani Reijnders and Nico O’Reilly extended our advantage before Academy winger Ryan McAidoo scored a ninth on his debut.
Exeter’s George Birch scored an excellent consolation goal but there was still time for one more with Lewis scoring his second and a fantastic 10th for City.
