Ed Upson produced a candidate for Bristol Rovers’ goal of the season as they fought back from two goals down to beat Southend 4-2 in a Sky Bet League One thriller at the Memorial Stadium.
The visitors took a 13th-minute lead when Brandon Goodship's superb low cross from the right was fired in by Tom Hopper.
It was 2-0 on 36 minutes, as Stephen McLaughlin picked out Goodship with a through ball and the winger coolly beat Anssi Jaakkola with a side-footed finish.
Jonson Clarke-Harris pulled a goal back for Rovers in the 48th minute with a low penalty after he had been needlessly fouled by Elvis Bwomono.
Eight minutes later the home side were level, as Clarke-Harris picked out Tom Nichols with a chip into the box and the ball broke for Abu Ogogo to volley past Nathan Bishop from 10 yards.
Upson's strike after 75 minutes was a dream right-footed volley from 25 yards that flew past Bishop before he had time to move. Alfie Kilgour then settled the outcome with an 81st-minute header from close range.
