Boreham Wood 1-0 Southend United
- Published
Tyrone Marsh's late strike helped Boreham Wood to the National League summit with a narrow win over 10-man Southend.
Abu Ogogo was sent off in the second half for the Shrimpers before Marsh scored the only goal of the game with eight minutes left.
The hosts started brightly, with Kane Smith and Will Evans both having chances, and Josh Rees came close with a volley which Steve Arnold did well to tip over the bar.
Rhys Murphy had a chance for Southend, but his 23rd-minute effort from the edge of the box went wide.
Arnold was called into action again in the 64th minute to turn Gus Mafuta's shot over.
Ogogo was given his marching orders a minute later after receiving two quick yellow cards.
Boreham Wood took advantage of their extra man to snatch the points when Marsh tucked away a rebound after Arnold's initial save.
