Leyton Orient 3 Shrewsbury Town 0

A double from David Mooney in the 57th and then 63rd minute saw off ineffective Shrews, before Moses Odubajo's late blow.

It could have been worse had Connor Goldson not cleared off the line from Kevin Lisbie between the two goals, with Dean Cox also blazing two golden opportunities over for the hosts.

It took 33 minutes for either side to register a shot on target, Shrews bringing a flying grab out of goalkeeper Jamie Jones from Paul Parry's free kick.

They had won the set piece after Tom Bradshaw was bundled over outside the box by Elliott Omozusi, earning the Orient defender a booking, and a good move from Shrews on 36 also went close.

Jon Taylor's cross on the left wing was chested down by Tom Bradshaw near goal into the path of Aaron Wildig, who could only shoot low and wide of the near post.

Orient first tested Chris Weale with Mooney the man that brought two gloves from the man in the Shrewsbury goal to beat his effort away at his far post from outside the box.

Weale was again called upon two minutes before the break and had to sprawl to beat away Cox's shot, after Odubajo had played him in on the right.

As was the case in Tuesday's Capital One Cup 3-1 defeat at home to Bolton, Shrews came out after the break and immediately switched off, allowing Orient to break the deadlock.

Mooney was making amends, too, for heading over Odubajo's cross from two yards on 54 when he made no mistake three minutes later.

Right-back Scott Cuthbert would prove a menace on his flank and put in a cross that was headed in at the far post by Mooney.

On 54, Shrews were lucky not to be another goal down when Goldson kicked off the line but they did go 2-0 behind all of five minutes later.

Cuthbert's long throw from the right was headed on by Kevin Lisbie, with Weale and Darren Jones letting the ball slip through them and into the path of Mooney, who stopped low and headed in.

Cox blazed over and Odubajo hit the post with four minutes to go, bringing down a cross from the former but his fierce shot cannoned back off the woodwork.

But Odubajo got the goal his display warranted as Orient made it 3-0 in stoppage time, carrying the ball 40 yards and drawing lunges from Weale and Jones before slotting into the far corner.
