Revell's tribute goal to stepmum

Alex Revell dedicated his opening goal to his late step-mother, who died over the summer break.
When Lions goalkeeper David Forde made a hash of Dan Harding's seventh-minute freekick, Southend winger Revell was on hand for an easy finish.
He said: "That goal was for her. I have been desperate to score for her and my dad. It has been a hard time but football takes your mind off things, so it was nice to get it for her."
Ahmet Brkovic hit the Lions' equaliser.

Ahmet Brkovic hit a dramatic injury-time equaliser to earn Millwall a point.
Millwall gifted their opponents a sixth-minute lead when keeper David Forde failed to deal with Dan Harding's free kick, and Alex Revell fired home the spilled ball through a crowded area.
It took the hosts 33 minutes to trouble Southend's goal, and Zak Whitbread could consider himself unfortunate to see his header sail over the bar.
Dave Martin squandered a glorious opportunity four minutes later after blazing wide when ideally placed.
Brkovic should have drawn the sides level 10 minutes into the second half, but his shot from six yards lacked power and went wide of the post.
Even the introduction of veteran striker Neil Harris on the hour didn't look like galvanising Millwall, and it was Southend who almost added a second three minutes from time but striker Lee Barnard shot well wide from long range.
However, it was Millwall who had the last say in the game and managed to claim a share of the spoils.
Marc Laird hit the woodwork from the edge of the area, the rebound fell to Harris. Steve Mildenhall saved the initial shot only for Brkovic to prod home the rebound.
