Northampton Town and Southend United are currently drawing 1-1 in this evening's League Two clash at Sixfields.
The Cobblers took the lead in the first seven minutes of the match, when Matthias Kouo-Doumbe rose above the defenders in the Shrimpers box to strike a header from close range.
Despite the home side being dominant for a period of time after the goal, Southend did show signs of improvement by the quarter-hour mark, Anthony Straker lashing a dangerous cross into the Northampton area which was eventually cleared.
The visitors eventually pulled a goal back midway through the first half when Marc Laird sent a pass through to Michael Timlin, who then proceeded to strike a precise ball into the Cobblers goal.
