Orient were more lively in the 2nd half however the Lions had control still early on and the substitution on the 61st which saw Gary Alexander come on for Chris Hackett helped lead towards the first goal, when the ball wasn't dealt with properly by the Orient defense and found its way to the Lions captain who gave his side the lead on the 69th minute!
Orient brought on some more attacking players who created some minor problems but the Lions just kept charging and when Scott Barron was brought down inside the box by Adam Chambers on the 80th minute, the Lions were awarded a penalty, which Steve Morison converted to bag his 20th goal of the season!
The game wasn't over yet though and Orient pressed hard in the last few minutes, a foul by Darren Ward in extra time led to a free kick for Orient and went out for a corner, which Orient took quickly and Ben Chorley shot it into the back of the net. The last minute was more nervy for the the Lions than it had to be but the Lions finished on top, taking a vital three points.
COME ON THE LIONS!!!!
