Brentford signed winger Fabio Carvalho from Liverpool in a deal worth £27.5m in August

Fabio Carvalho put on a brilliant display as Brentford came from behind to beat League One Leyton Orient in the Carabao Cup third round.

The Bees went behind early in the contest when Brandon Cooper ran in at the back post to score from close range, getting on the end of Thomas James' cross.

Carvalho scored his first Brentford goal with a superb overhead kick after Kevin Schade had skilfully jinked inside the box and had an effort saved by the legs of goalkeeper Josh Keeley.

Carvalho was soon influential again as his lofted cross found Mikel Damsgaard, who fired in his header.

Christian Norgaard’s thumping effort from the edge of the box flew into the far corner past the despairing dive of Keeley to wrap up the victory for Brentford.

After conceding three goals in 45 minutes, Orient were unable to make a comeback, with Jamie Donley having a free-kick blocked and Jayden Sweeney firing over the crossbar.

Jack Simpson was shown a second yellow card in the 69th minute after an off-the-ball coming together with Schade, as Orient's evening went from bad to worse.
