PORT VALE 0
DIRE defending enabled Southend centre-half Mark Phillips and striker Liam Dickinson to give the hosts a 2-0 lead with first-half headed goals.
Vale showed few signs of recovery after the break, before defender Gareth Owen converted a cross into his own net with a finish worthy of a Premier League striker.
