Carlisle came from a goal down to beat Southend 2-1 and maintain their unbeaten record in League One.

Debutant Dougie Freedman had given the visitors the lead in style during the first half with a curling 20-yard shot.

But Southend lost that lead when Peter Clarke pushed Danny Livesey in the box and Danny Graham sent Steve Mildenhall the wrong way from the penalty spot.

Winger Cleveland Taylor then won it for the home side when he fired home a loose ball from six yards.
