Two Points Dropped
Leyton Orient 2 Leeds United 2
Leeds extended their unbeaten run to nine games at Brisbane Road although they will be very disappointed that they dropped two points to a never say die Orient who were down to ten men for the last half hour. Leeds started brightly and Neil Kilkenny had a shot saved before Robert Snodgrass fired home their opener.
They went 2-0 up when Orient's Jason Demetriou handled a goal bound shot from Becchio and was sent off. Ian Snodgrass converting the penalty sending the keeper Jones the wrong way. However the hosts hit back brilliantly and Sean Thornton curled in a free-kick ( as he did at Elland Road earlier in the season) before Casper Ankergren failed to hold a shot and Church scrambled it home.
