Leyton Orient boosted their hopes of avoiding relegation with a crucial 3-1 home win over Port Vale on Saturday. 

It did not look good at the break as the O's trailed 1-0 after a deserved goal from Chris Birchall.

But the turning point came early on in the second half when goalkeeper Chris Neal was sent off for bringing down Chris Dagnall. David Mooney levelled the game from the penalty spot.

A Neil Collins own goal handed Orient the lead before Mooney missed the chance to score again when his second penalty was saved by Sam Johnson.

But a superb strike from Dean Cox sealed the comeback victory which keeps Fabio Liverani's side within touching distance of the sides above the relegation zone.
