Marc Leonard’s exquisite first half strike, Kieron Bowie’s instinctive first-time finish and Tyreece Simpson’s smart turn and shot were all in vain as Orient snatched the spoils on a dramatic evening at Brisbane Road. Here are our player ratings...
9. Mitch Pinnock
Town's inaccuracy on the ball meant he barely featured in the first half. Gradually became more involved and a nice touch set up Bowie's leveller for 2-2. Had a good chance to make it 4-3 Cobblers minutes before Orient's winner but he couldn't sort his feet out... 6 Photo: Pete Norton
10. Kieron Bowie
Plenty of endeavour in the first half and his rewards came in the second when he found more dangerous positions in the final third. Tremendous first-time finish made it 2-2, his eighth goal in his last 15 games... 7 Photo: Pete Norton
11. Louis Appéré
Endured a frustrating time of it both when through the middle and over on the left. Terrific defensive challenge denied him when a rare opportunity fell his way... 6 Photo: Pete Norton
12. Ben Fox
Still looks short of sharpness, understandably, and looked to be hobbling in the final few minutes, though played a nice pass in the build up to the second goal... 6 Photo: Pete Norton
