A valiant effort from Leyton Orient, who came to disrupt, and gave a decent account of themselves in their first match against Premier League opposition for ten years. Fielding a number of reserves, they were always going to be underdogs, but they gave something for their travelling fans to celebrate by taking the lead within the opening eleven minutes. When Brentford turned the dial up, they just couldn't compete though, and struggled to keep up as their opponents took control of possession and slowly broke them down. Richie Wellens' side pushed for a goal back in the second half and looked to have the momentum behind them, all until Simpson was shown a second yellow card and they were reduced to ten men for the remainder.
