STEPHEN MCLAUGHLIN LAST night scored his second goal of the season but it wasn’t enough to maintain Southend United’s place in the EFL Cup.
The Isle of Doagh, Clonmany, native scuffed home a 34th minute goal to put his team in front against Gillingham.

Remarkably, it was the second meeting of the teams in four days in which Gillingham had come from a McLaughlin goal down to win 3-1 at Rods Hall – that was also the case on Saturday in the League One season opener between the same two teams.
