Southend United win comfortably against Portsmouth

Phil Brown's Southend United walked away with a win from their League Two clash with Portsmouth as Barry Corr and Shaquile Coulthirst scored second-half goals for the Blues.

With the teams level going into half-time, it was Southend who started the second half the brighter as Corr nodded in from a corner on the 56th minute.

Southend continued to press as Portsmouth cleared off the line after a Kevan Hurst corner caused havoc in the area.

Pompey had their own chances to equalise, but it was substitute Coulthirst who outdid the Portsmouth defence with a mazy run and a tidy finish to secure the points in the 90th minute.
