Southend United 1-3 Gillingham (original) (raw)

Gillingham came from behind to secure a second victory over Southend in the space of four days and progress to the second round of the EFL Cup.

Southend went ahead through Stephen McLaughlin's scruffy effort but the Gills hit back when Billy Knott's cross found Cody McDonald to power home.

Substitute Jay Emmanuel-Thomas then fired the visitors ahead, before netting again two minutes from time.

The visitors beat Southend 3-1 in their first game of the League One season.
