Cambridge's five-match unbeaten run was ended with a 1-0 home defeat by Southend, who have now lost only once in eight matches.
After dominating the first half, in which Jack Payne hit the crossbar, the visitors' pressure paid off on 57 minutes when Dave Worrall crossed from the right and Barry Corr flicked a header that had too much power for Chris Dunn to keep out. Kevan Hurst almost doubled the lead six minutes later, cutting inside and rattling the base of Dunn's post, before Cian Bolger forced the U's goalkeeper to push away his long-range effort. Cambridge saw Dan Bentley push Josh Coulson's powerful header over the bar in the first half following Sulley Kaikai's freekick, while sub Adam Cunnington fired across Bentley and just wide moments before Corr's opener.
