Last-gasp Bwomono header earns Southend their first home league win of season

Elvis Bwomono’s stoppage-time header saw Southend beat Lincoln 2-1 to secure their first home league win of the season.

A young and spirited Shrimpers side looked to have been denied all three points when the Imps’ Harry Anderson headed home an 89th-minute equaliser to cancel out Charlie Kelman’s opener.

But Sol Campbell’s side fought back deep into added time, with Bwomono heading in to secure all three points.

After a quiet start, Southend went in front in the 63rd minute when Kelman netted the rebound after Harry Phillips had struck the crossbar from 20 yards.

Lincoln hit back, with Tyreece John-Jules firing over from close range but, just a minute from time, Anderson nodded into the back of the net after Cian Bolger had headed Jorge Grant’s corner into his path.

However, the Shrimpers were not to be denied and six minutes into stoppage time they bagged a late winner with Bwomono heading home Stephen McLaughlin’s corner.
