Cheltenham Town 1-2 Southend United

Southend United came from behind to win at Cheltenham and consolidate their play-off place in League Two.

Byron Harrison's well-struck volley in first-half injury time had handed the home side the advantage.

The visitors levelled just after the hour mark when substitute Barry Corr pounced on a loose ball and steered his shot into the bottom corner.

Three minutes later Kevan Hurst stabbed the ball past advancing Cheltenham keeper Scott Brown to seal victory.

The Robins came close to levelling with an 84th-minute strike from sub Zack Kotwica, which Shrimpers keeper Daniel Bentley just managed to keep out.

Southend are now three points clear of eighth-placed Oxford, while Cheltenham are nine points off the top seven.

Cheltenham Town manager Mark Yates told BBC Radio Gloucestershire

"They went direct and started pummelling balls in and we buckled.

"Scotty made a great save and we just stopped doing our jobs for ten minutes. It was pathetic from the players and I'm really angry with them doing what they've done again.

"The more disappointment for me is the closeness, timing and proximity of the goals. I'll take the blame for it as they're my team but my players have also got to be counted and they've let me and the supporters down today.

"This season has been disappointing and we know that. The good thing is that we'll have a chance to put that right in the summer, where we can bring in one or two different players.

"There will be one or two who played today that won't be on that pitch next season."
