Ollie Palmer’s two clinical finishes helped Leyton Orient get back to winning ways in League Two on Saturday at Hartlepool United.
Sandro Semedo levelled the scores at Victoria Park after Leyton-born Josh Laurent put the hosts ahead.
Alberto Cavasin’s men showed real character to respond to going a goal down and earning all three points.
Alex Cisak (7.5) – Australian could perhaps have done more for the opener, but made a massive save from Lewis Hawkins in 52nd minute and it would prove decisive.
You may also want to watch:
Jans Jense (6) – Struggled against Nathan Thomas and was given a torrid time in first half, but improved after break.
Nicky Hunt (7) – Usually at right-back but at the heart of defence on Saturday and made a couple of wonderful blocks.
