Charlie Kelman's brace helped Leyton Orient to snap their League One losing streak with victory at Blackpool.

A goal by Kelman in each half – the second coming moments after the hosts' equaliser – saw them take a welcome victory after five straight defeats.

The first half was slow to kick into life until the half-hour mark when Diallang Jaiyesimi sent a cross in and Kelman buried his close-range header.

Ashley Fletcher wasted a glorious chance to level when he pounced on a weak header intended for Josh Keeley and rounded the goalkeeper, but then shot over the open goal.

Fletcher had a chance to make amends shortly afterwards, but headed Lee Evans' cross wide, while Keeley saved from Sonny Carey and Rob Apter to keep the visitors ahead at half-time.

Kelman crashed a second-half shot against the bar before Carey drew Blackpool level with an hour played, his quick feet creating the space for an emphatic finish after receiving Tom Bloxham's pass.

However, Orient regained the lead soon after as Dan Agyei reached the byline and sent a low ball across goal for Kelman to turn in.

Niall Ennis hit the post from close range and Blackpool's best chance, with two minutes remaining, saw Jake Beesley clear the bar with only Keeley to beat.
