Morecambe 2-1 Southend United

Morecambe picked up their first victory since Boxing Day at the expense of Southend, who are now winless in nine.

Ryan Leonard gave the visitors the lead by heading Kevan Hurst's cross into the top corner, his seventh of the season.

Winger Kevin Ellison levelled from a narrow angle following a mix-up in the Shrimpers defence.

Substitute Jack Redshaw won it with a fine finish, his first touch, and just seconds after the away side wasted a golden opportunity at the other end.

Southend United manager Phil Brown told BBC Essex:

"We were beaten by a little bit of nous to tell you the truth, a little bit of experience. They've turned us on a regular basis and we had our back four facing our own goal for the majority of the second half.

"If that's what it takes to win a game of football at this level, then we have to learn that one, instead of playing all the pretty football. Trying to pass it on a pitch that wasn't conducive towards playing good football is not the right way to play."

"We had chances at the end, but they had chances at the beginning of the second half. We threw men forward to try and get that opportunity to equalise and possibly the winner, but it wasn't to be."
