Leyton Orient back into automatic promotion places

Orient back into automatic promotion places

Leyton Orient have gone back into the top two of League One with a 2-0 win away to Shrewsbury Town.

Moses Odubajo scored just before the half-hour mark to give the visitors the lead when he got on the end of Jamar Loza's pass after good work from Dean Cox helped the midfielder to round the goalkeeper.

Scott Cuthbert made the result safe with a strike three minutes from time as Orient went to within a point of Brentford at the top of the division.

Aaron Wildig had a chance earlier first half, but he was unable to test the goalkeeper with his effort on nine minutes.

Elliott Omozusi signalled the visitors' intent early on with a fierce shot that went over the bar just one minute into the game.

Odubajo has a goalbound shot deflected away after 73 minutes before Cuthbert sealed the points when he headed home Cox's cross.
