Southend were unable to capitalise on Luke Waterfall’s second-half dismissal in a goalless National League draw at Hartlepool.
The home side had their work cut out to salvage a result after defender Waterfall was sent off when he received a second yellow with 49 minutes played.
Noor Husin, Gus Scott-Morriss and Jack Bridge all went close as Southend pushed for a winner.
But, despite playing the majority of the second half with one less player, Hartlepool kept their opponents at bay to take a point.
