Southend made it two wins from two National League matches as the Shrimpers beat Dagenham.

The visitors made a spirited start and took the lead in the 19th minute when Jack Bridge's low cross was turned in by Harry Cardwell, who also scored in last week's 4-0 win over Oldham.

Cardwell might have had his and Southend's second soon after, but his header was saved before the rebound was spectacularly cleared off the line by Dagenham defender Tom Eastman.

Noor Husin saw his effort whistle just wide in the second half as Southend continued to pressure Dagenham who opened their campaign with a 1-1 draw at Altrincham last week.

However, it was not until the second minute of added-on time that they made sure of all three points.

For the second time in two games, Oli Coker came off the bench to score, curling home from just outside the box.
