Walsall 0 - 2 Leyton Orient - O's unseat Saddlers

Leyton Orient continued their recent improvement with a well deserved 2-0 win over Walsall at the Banks's Stadium.

Second-half goals from Ryan Hedges and Chris Dagnall sank the Saddlers, who are now without a victory in four games.

Orient took the lead in the 57th minute when Hedges finished of a clever chip from Dagnall with a low drive. And Dagnall helped himself to the second goal three minutes later, firing a neat pass from Hedges into the roof of the net.

Woeful Walsall's only chances in the first half were from free-kicks just outside the area. But Andy Taylor, in the fourth minute, and Cook, after 10 minutes, shot straight at goalkeeper Alex Cisak.

Orient grew in confidence and could have built a two-goal lead by half-time, but home keeper Richard O'Donnell did well to smother the ball at the feet of Jobi McAnuff, then Dagnall mistimed a header from Andrea Dossena's superb cross.

Saddlers substitute Amadou Bakayoko finally tested Cisak in stoppage time but it was too little too late for the home side.
