SOUTHEND United striker Freddy Eastwood is hoping to fire the Shrimpers to another spectacular victory over Swansea at the Vetch Field tomorrow.

The 21-year-old, from Basildon, netted a hat-trick on his Blues debut against the Swans in October and is bidding for more of the same.

"It was the perfect debut for me and it's a day I will certainly never ever forget," said the former Grays Athletic goal-getter.

"To get a hat-trick was amazing and it was a real confidence boost. It immediately put me on a high and things have carried on well from there so I'm certainly after more of the same this time as well."
