Darren Oldaker’s own goal was followed by Lewis Walker and Callum Stewart strikes.

Southend saw their perfect start to the National League season come to an end following a 3-1 home defeat to Kidderminster.

The Shrimpers had won all three games to begin the new campaign and took the lead in the 10th minute after Leon Chambers-Parillon slotted home Kyle McAdam’s cutback.

Kidderminster levelled on the hour mark when Ben Crompton’s goalbound effort was deflected into his own net by Southend midfielder Darren Oldaker.

Lewis Walker put the visitors ahead in the 73rd minute when he pounced on a loose ball in the penalty area before Callum Stewart’s brilliant finish in stoppage time wrapped up the three points.
