Aribim Pepple scored twice as Southend won 4-2 at Solihull.
Keenan Appiah-Forson fired the Shrimpers ahead after 19 minutes with an angled finish and Pepple doubled the lead in the 27th minute with a fine curling effort from 20 yards.
Moors, chasing a third straight league win, pulled a goal back shortly before half-time when summer arrival Sam Bowen fired in a low shot to score his first goal for the club but Gus Scott-Morriss added a third for Southend in the 56th minute.
A penalty from Jack Stevens gave Moors renewed hope only for Pepple to tap in his second from a corner with 21 minutes left as Southend bounced back from two successive National League defeats.
