SOUTHEND United manager Chris Powell singled out the impressive Timothee Dieng following the Shrimpers’ 1-0 win against Fleetwood Town.
The Frenchman produced a dominant display in the centre of the park.
And Powell was full of praise for his performance.
“Tim was absolutely immense for us,” said the Blues boss.
“I know every player played their part and worked hard but if I have to single anyone out then it would be him for his tackling, his bravery when heading and he had a few strikes at goal as well.
“It was a real all-round performance and I’m pleased for him because he’s come in and it’s been a stop-start, like it has for everyone really.”
