Early pace-setters Leyton Orient crashed to a humiliating 5-0 home defeat to Swansea.
Swansea midfielder Thomas Butler threaded his way in from the left and curled his shot into top corner for an early opener.
Within seconds of the restart Swansea midfielder Darren Pratley lashed home a 35-yard volley via the crossbar.
Warren Feeney then escaped down the left and rifled in Swansea’s third, while home goalkeeper Stuart Nelson allowed Paul Anderson’s shot to pass under his body for City’s fourth.
Orient pressed in vain for a consolation goal after the break, but it was Feeney who completed the scoring when he escaped the covering defence and tucked home a fifth past Nelson.

I love living in London We weren’t great today, but can’t knock a 5-0 win. Orient were rubbish, how they’re top of the league I don’t know. Nelson MOM, he is one of the worst keepers in the league and it’s always entertaining to watch him play. Feeney was worth his goal, would like to see him with Duffy when he’s fit. Butler was awesome, he should be paying me to go watch him play – last away game I got to was against Sheffield Utd, again he scored two goals. STID |

A quick opinion | |
On yesterdays game. As i’m sure has already been said, a great team performance with the likes of Darren Pratley having their best game of the season. Butler and Anderson on the wing were tremendous, both showing great touch and plenty of pace on many an occasion as well as an eye for goal. Both will be justifiably disappointed if they lose their place when Britton and Robbo return from injury going on their performances yesterday. A special mention to Marcos Painter from me who i’ve criticised on several occasions recently, but yesterday i thought that he was outstanding in defence, and especially getting forward in the second half. MOTM for me with Anderson a close second. All in all a fantastic day, so let’s hope this is the start of a concerted promotion push. We know the squad are capable of turning out performances like that, week in, week out. |
