Bristol Rovers 4-2 Southend

Rickie Lambert scored all four goals for Bristol Rovers in a victory that saw Southend stage a mini fightback.

The striker headed Rovers in front from Stuart Campbell's corner and doubled the lead with a first-time shot.

Lambert completed his hat-trick by nodding home Jo Kuffour's cross and made it 4-0 with another header.

Southend's Peter Clarke pulled a goal back with a close-range finish and Francis Laurent added a second but there was to be no miraculous recovery.
