Burton vs Leyton Orient

Will Collar's first goal for Burton secured three points as they came from behind to snatch a 2-1 win over Leyton Orient.

Alex Gilbert's long-range free-kick had given the O's a first-half lead but second-half goals from Kegs Chauke and Collar secured a first win in five for the Brewers.

Albion carved out the better early openings with Orient goalkeeper Nathan Baxter making three crucial saves to keep things level. Caylan Vickers, Charlie Webster and Harvey Araujo were all denied by athletic stops.

Orient capitalised on Baxter's heroics just after the half-hour mark when Gilbert caught out Albion keeper Corey Addai with a 35-yard free-kick that crept inside the near post.

Burton were level 11 minutes after half-time. Vickers led a swift counter-attack through the middle before feeding Chauke who cut inside and finished inside Baxter's right-hand post.

Webster sent a dipping effort just wide as Albion looked to seize the initiative and substitute Aaron Connolly was just wide with a good chance for the visitors as both sides looked for a winner.

But it was Albion who grabbed the decisive third goal of the game, Vickers bursting into the area and setting up Collar for a calm side-foot finish.
