        Timlin helps Southend into final

        Michael Timlin might be sporting a headache of a different kind in the morning after firing Southend to Wembley. The Southend midfielder, whose horrific head injury overshadowed the first leg of their Sky Bet League Two play-off semi-final against Stevenage, fittingly scored the goal which secured a 3-1 extra-time victory on Thursday night. A surprise inclusion and wearing Petr Cech-style headgear after needing 15 stitches in a gaping wound above his eye, Timlin played the full 120 minutes and rounded off a courageous display by wrapping up a deserved victory. The Shrimpers had finished 12 points clear of their opponents but still made hard work of booking their trip to Wembley against a dogged Boro side. They fell behind to Tom Pett's close-range strike and, after Ryan Leonard had equalised, Barry Corr blew the chance to send Southend through when he missed a stoppage-time penalty. But substitute Stephen McLaughlin nodded them in front in the 108th minute and Timlin added the gloss to send manager Phil Brown back to the scene of his memorable promotion to the Premier League with Hull seven years ago. Southend dominated the opening half with Boro keeper Chris Day saving from Dave Worrall and Joe Pigott volleying narrowly wide. Corr fashioned a glorious opportunity for himself moments before the interval when his dummy left Dean Wells and Day sat on the ground, but his attempted chip floated wide. Those missed chance came back to haunt Southend 10 minutes into the second half when Pett broke the deadlock. Simon Walton's corner found its way to Dean Parrett on the edge of the area and his shot took a couple of defections before falling at the feet of Pett to slam home. Southend immediately piled forward and Day made fine saves from Cian Bolger and Pigott before Leonard grabbed the equaliser in the 67th minute. McLaughlin crossed from the left and Leonard, unmarked on the right-hand side of the area, smashed a first-time shot past Day and high into the net. Deep into stoppage time referee Graham Scott appeared to hand Southend their ticket to the final when he penalised Parrett for bringing down Leonard in the area. But Corr, who scored Southend's equaliser in the first leg, fluffed his lines this time when his penalty clipped the crossbar. In extra time the Shrimpers found Day in inspired form as he made fine saves to deny McLaughlin, Leonard, Corr and Worrall. But Southend finally found a way past when skipper John White crossed from the right and McLaughlin threw himself at the ball to nod it inside Day's far post. And as the clock ticked down Timlin took advantage of a tiring Stevenage backline to race through and crash in the third as Southend completed a 4-2 aggregate win.

          Southend secure third win in eight days to sink Bradford

          Two goals in six second-half minutes earned Southend a 2-0 win at Bradford.It was their third win in eight days and ended Bradford's four-match unbeaten run.The Bantams who lost striker Kai Bruenker to injury in the 14th minute, came closest to scoring in a scrappy first half when goalkeeper Mark Oxley dived full-length to turn away Callum Guy's 20-yard shot.They also came close to breaking the deadlock in the 56th minute only to be denied by Oxley, who made two superb goal-line saves after a free-kick from Tony McMahon caused problems for the visitors' defence.First, he stopped a close-range header from Timothee Dieng and then blocked substitute Dom Poleon's shot when the ball rebounded into the striker's path.Southend went in front in the 72nd minute after home goalkeeper Colin Doyle made his first serious save of the match, diving to turn San Mantom's shot away for a corner.Bradford did not properly clear the danger and, when Stephen McLaughlin returned the ball into the goalmouth, skipper John White headed the visitors into the lead.Southend went further ahead in the 78th minute following a swift breakaway after a Bradford attack broke down.Dru Yearwood raced to the edge of the home penalty area before playing the ball out to Marc-Antoine Fortune on the left and his right-foot shot hit defender Nat Knight-Percival before looping into the far corner of the net.

            Cox scores twice as Southend push Oldham close to relegation

            Oldham's relegation worries deepened as they slumped to a dismal 3-0 home defeat against Southend.The Latics were let down by woeful finishing before Simon Cox's second-half double inspired Southend to their fourth away win of the season.The Shrimpers needed just five minutes to break through as Shayon Harrison headed a corner against the post and Theo Robinson tapped in the loose ball.Oldham's Eoin Doyle could have levelled before Southend threatened again when Stephen McLaughlin forced a save from Johny Placide.The home side controlled the rest of the first half, but visiting keeper Mark Oxley did well to grab Doyle's close-range header and several more chances went begging.Southend sprung out of defence to double their lead in the 52nd minute, Cox firing in at the second attempt after his initial shot was only partially-saved by Placide.Another clinical attack made it 3-0 just four minutes later as Sam Mantom's left-wing cross gave Cox the simplest of finishes.Jason Demetriou hit the post for Southend, while Oldham's Gevaro Nepomuceno did the same in stoppage time.
