Ebbsfleet shock leaders Leyton Orient
Posted Sunday, January 20, 2019 by PA
Ebbsfleet boosted their Vanarama National League play-off ambitions with a comfortable 2-0 win over league leaders Leyton Orient.
There were little between the two teams before Jack King fired Ebbsfleet into a 23rd-minute lead with a powerful drive after Orient failed to clear a corner.
Table-toppers Orient pushed for an equaliser after the restart, with Charlie Lee, Josh Koroma and Daniel Happe all testing Ebbsfleet goalkeeper Nathan Ashmore before the hosts doubled their advantage when Chris Bush curled in a great free-kick in the 63rd minute.
James Brophy and Macauley Bonne both went close for the visitors, who have won just one of their last five league matches, but Fleet held on to extend their unbeaten league run to five matches and move up eighth in the table.
