LEAGUE TWO: Leyton Orient 2-2 Stevenage

A late goal by Theo Archibald denied Paul Tisdale's Boro a vital victory in front of 4,558 at Brisbane Road on Saturday.

The 24-year-old former Celtic apprentice on loan at Orient from Lincoln, angled a long range effort past Boro keeper Christy Pym and into the net to break the visitors hearts in the 94th minute.

In an entertaining first half, Boro went 1-0 ahead with a Luke Prosser goal in the 24th minute, before Matt Harrold's side equalised six minutes later through Ruel Sotiriou.

Two minutes after that, Luke Norris scored a cracker to put the visitors in the driving seat, on a chilly afternoon in East London.

Norris nearly added to the lead late in the second half, but he hooked his chance narrowly wide as Tisdale's agonisingly failed to hold on and clinch an important win.

The draw sees Stevenage remain in 21st spot, with Orient 19th.
