Chris Dagnall, Ryan Hedges and Jobi McAnuff all scored as Leyton Orient secured a 3-0 win in their relegation battle with Yeovil.
It took the O's just two minutes to go in front in this relegation-scrap in a match when both teams started in the bottom four. McAnuff fought off three challenges before finding leading striker Dagnall, who netted his 10th league goal of the season, drilling the ball low into the left-hand corner. Then five minutes later, winger Hedges doubled the O's lead after Andrea Dossena and Marvin Bartley had combined to open up the Glovers' defence before presenting the chance to Hedges, who netted with aplomb. The visitors' plight might have been even worse. Darius Henderson and Dagnall were both denied by the woodwork while Yeovil goalkeeper Scott Loach was at full-stretch to keep out shots from the influential McAnuff and Bartley. McAnuff was rewarded for his industry with a goal on the hour-mark when Henderson unselfishly passed the ball across goal to give the midfielder the simplest of finishes. Orient were forced to play the final 17 minutes with only 10 players having just made their third substitution of the game when central defender Mathieu Baudry was forced off with a pulled hamstring, but bottom-of-the-table Yeovil never looked a threat.
