Southend continue their N&R Road to Wembley run after beating Luton in the 2nd Round and the Shrimpers pulled out a peach of a 3rd Round draw at Stamford Bridge to play Chelsea.
In the 2nd Round it was on-loan West Ham midfielder Junior Stanislaus who was the hero with two goals as Southend overcame Luton to clinch a third round FA Cup berth.
STANISLAUS, who joined the day before, cracked home Southend's opener from 25 yards, only for Michael Spillane to head Luton level. STANISLAUS then headed Southend back in front from Kevin Betsy's cross. Our boys wrapped up victory when Anthony Grant set up fellow substitute and Charlton old boy JAMES WALER to smash home.
Southend: Mildenhall, Francis, Clarke, Barrett, Herd, Betsy, Christophe (Grant 65), McCormack, Stanislas (Orenuja 90), Revell (Walker 77), Laurent.
Subs Not Used: Joyce, Sankofa, O'Keefe, Hazell.
Att: 4,111
More on Southend United later in the week.
