Salford City 3-0 Leyton Orient

Salford's 3-0 victory over Leyton Orient in a match delayed by an hour proved to be in vain as they missed out on the League Two play-offs by two points.

After kick-off was put back due to adverse weather conditions, the fixture eventually began at 16:00 BST and, with all the other games starting at the scheduled 15:00 BST, it ultimately meant that the Ammies' destiny was to be settled by half-time.

The home side won an early penalty when Ian Henderson - April's League Two Player of the Month - was fouled in the area, only for George Boyd to see his spot-kick saved.

Although Salford opened the scoring shortly before the interval through Robbie Gotts' precise strike, they learned of their play-off fate upon their return to the dressing room with Forest Green defeating Oldham 3-0.

Unfazed, Gary Bowyer's outfit continued from where they left off after the interval and doubled their advantage when Brandon Thomas-Asante was on hand to stab home.

The 22-year-old soon had his second of the afternoon when his impressive mazy run ended with a venomous strike into the bottom corner, rounding off a comfortable victory that proved to be too little, too late in Salford's season.
