Leyton Orient have come from behind to register a 2-1 victory over Gillingham at Priestfield in League One.

The hosts surged ahead as early as the fourth minute through Adebayo Akinfenwa, who headed home Jake Hessenthaler's cross from close range.

Russell Slade's side had a great chance to restore parity when they were awarded a penalty for a foul by Leon Legge on Kevin Lisbie. However, Elliot Omozusi saw his right-footed spot kick saved.

Akinfenwa and Cody McDonald squandered chances to make it 2-0 to Gillingham in the opening minutes of the second half, and that came back to haunt the home team.

Marvin Bartley turned in Dean Cox's cross with his head on 70 minutes and Yohann Lasimant completed the comeback for Orient in the first minute of injury time with a header.
