Leyton Orient 1-2 AFC Fylde

  • Published

AFC Fylde held on to claim a shock win at Leyton Orient.

Danny Rowe fired a warning shot to the hosts, narrowly missing the target from 25 yards after two minutes, but the 27-year-old found his range 13 minutes later with a deflected free-kick to give Fylde something to show for their strong start.

Rowe then put the visitors 2-0 up three minutes into the second half with a fine strike from distance which finally gave the hosts a wake-up call.

Macauley Bonne headed against a post after 71 minutes as Leyton Orient belatedly took control, before Jobi McAnuff headed in at the far post a minute later to set up a tense finale, which saw Fylde hold on for the win despite going down to 10 men as Lewis Montrose was sent off in stoppage-time.
