Southend take a point from Woking tie thanks to Joe Duncan’s efforts


The goalkeeper stepped up to the mark to prevent his side relinquishing three points.
Southend had their keeper Joe Duncan to thank for claiming a point after 1-1 draw against Woking at Kingfield Stadium.
Duncan denied Liam Dulson an equaliser in the opening period then tipped Jake Forster-Caskey’s 88th minute free-kick over the bar as the hosts pressed for the win.
Harry Cardwell’s 38th minute penalty had put the Shrimpers in front and he would have added a second but for a fine stop from Woking keeper Will Jaaskelainen on the stroke of half time.
Woking grabbed their equaliser on the hour-mark when Aiden O’Brien prodded home at the third attempt after Duncan had saved from Dulson and Syla.
