Southend 3-0 Gillingham

The home side took the lead when Nicky Bailey brought the ball from his own half and swapped passes with Leon Clarke before rifling a left-foot shot.

Alan McCormack fired in a shot from just inside the box on the stroke of half time to double Southend's lead.

McCormack then played a one-two with Clarke, who delayed his shot before cheekily chipping the advancing keep Simon Royce to complete the win.
