Leyton Orient made sure of a League One play-off place as they ran out convincing 4-1 winners away to Huddersfield.

The hosts gifted Orient the lead within two minutes as Josh Koroma’s mis-hit pass played in Jamie Donley to run unchallenged into the box, where a square ball gave Dan Agyei a simple finish.

Agyei went close to doubling the advantage five minutes later but hit the crossbar with Jacob Chapman well beaten.

The Huddersfield goalkeeper then made a mess of a deflected cross from Agyei, flapping the ball into his own net for 2-0.

Koroma pulled one back just before half-time with a looping header into the top corner and Orient had assistant manager
Paul Terry sent off moments later for preventing a quick throw-in.

Agyei made sure of the result shortly after the break, once again applying the finishing touch to a swift and clinical counter-attack.

And it was a familiar story for 4-1, substitute Azeem Abdulai converting a close-range header to finish off Ethan Galbraith’s cross on the break following a Huddersfield corner.
