Southend United skipper Craig Easton was the villan when he gave away the 89th minute penalty allowed Wycombe Wanderers to draw level, two minutes later he was the hero with a suberb winning strike. try { FB.Event.subscribe('xfbml.render', function() { var fbTags = $('.facebookLike'); for(var i=0; iretweet-->Easton: 'We have been doing well away from home and want to keep that going' Shrimpers skipper Craig Easton turned from villan to hero in a couple of minutes in the dramatic 3-2 win over the Chairboys at Roots Hall Tuesday evening and is still in shock about it all!Easton told www.echo-news.co.uk: "It's amazing the contrasting fortunes football can throw up. I don't know what happened for the penalty and I guess my arms were up but I wasn't very far away from the ball and it was hard to get out of the way. It certainly fired me up to make amends though and luckily I was able to do it with my goal. I just tried to hit it as cleanly as I could, while keeping my head down and fortunately it went in which was great." However, it's all about the next game now and the long trek to Torquay where, with only a point between the teams, victory could take either team very close to the play-off zone, if not, in the case of the three-wins-in-a-row Gulls actually in it!Then again the Shrimpers will be aiming once again to break that 80-year-record, after the Accrington postponement, and record five successive wins on the road.Captain Craig continued: "It was a good win against Wycombe and we want to carry that on against Torquay now. They are another strong team so it will be difficult for us. But we have been doing well away from home and want to keep that going."
