Tamworth topple Southend thanks to Ronan Maher winner

PA

Ronan Maher’s goal gave Tamworth a 2-1 National League win over Southend.

Tamworth went ahead after 21 minutes when a long throw from Tom Tonks caused havoc in the area and Jordan Cullinane-Liburd tapped home.

Southend equalised three minutes after half-time through Oli Coker on his 100th Shrimpers appearance.

Maher struck the winner in the 68th minute when his shot through a crowded penalty area dribbled into the far corner as the hosts halted a run of three straight league defeats.
