Cavaghn Miley scored a late winner as Vanarama National League play-off hopefuls Southend recorded a 2-1 victory at struggling Torquay.

The visitors broke the deadlock in the 27th minute when Callum Powell got on the scoresheet for the first time since November.

After a scrappy start to the second half, Torquay levelled things up in the 85th minute through substitute Lewis Collins.

But Miley got an added-time winner for Southend to secure the three points with his first goal for the club.
