Southend United 1-0 Eastleigh

Nathan Ferguson's second-half strike earned Southend's first win since the opening day of the season as they beat Eastleigh 1-0.

The Shrimpers were without victory in seven games, losing the last four, before Ferguson popped up in the 69th minute to stop the rot.

The former Crawley man rifled home a volley from just inside the area as Phil Brown's side climbed out of the National League relegation zone.

It might have been a different story had Ben House been able to take an early chance for Eastleigh, but the hosts went on to dominate the game.
