Southend shocked Bristol City in the first round of the Carling with a 3-2 extra-time win at Roots Hall.

Coppell suffers second straight defeat

Southend shocked Bristol City in the first round of the Carling with a 3-2 extra-time win at Roots Hall. Steve Coppell's miserable start as manager of Bristol City continued as they crashed out at the first hurdle after being beaten 3-0 at home to Millwall on the opening day of the Championship season on Saturday. And only a series of fantastic saves from Dean Gerken stopped them suffering another heavy defeat at Roots Hall against their League Two hosts, who triumphed after extra-time with striker Matt Paterson bagging the winner. He headed home a left wing cross from Ryan Hall in the 104th minute having previously cancelled out Jamie McAllister's early opener from the penalty spot in the 31st minute. City regained the lead eight minutes from the end of normal time with Ivan Sproule sliding home a cross from Albert Adomah. But six minutes later Southend were back level to send the tie to extra-time as Barry Corr headed past Gerken after being teed up by Scott Spencer.
