Shrewsbury Town 0 Leyton Orient 2 - match report

Shrewsbury Town suffered a fifth straight home defeat in League One against promotion-chasing Leyton Orient.

Town midfielder Aaron Wildig probably should have put the hosts ahead after eight minutes when Tom Eaves sent him in on goal.

But he slotted wide from about 14 yards out and Graham Turner's side fell behind after 28 minutes through Moses Odubajo's accurate finish.

Ryan Woods had been dispossed by Norwich City loanee Jamar Loza and Odubajo skillfully took the ball round Town goalkeeper Chris Weale.

Eaves should have levelled on 53 minutes after beating Scott Cuthbert to a ball in the box, only to slot wide from a one-on-one position.

Odubajo twice went close to a second for the visitors in the final quarter while Wildig curled just wide at the other end.

But Cuthbert made the points safe with a close range finish from a Dean Cox corner five minutes from time.
