Leyton Orient ended their winless streak against Wigan Athletic with a resounding 2-0 victory at The Brick Community Stadium, marking their first-ever triumph in the fixture during League One’s Round 19.

The breakthrough moment came courtesy of English-born Ghanaian forward Daniel Agyei, whose standout performance inspired the O’s historic win.

Despite Wigan controlling 53% of possession, their lack of cutting edge was evident, with a low xG of 0.26 highlighting their struggles in front of goal. Leyton Orient seized their moment in the 41st minute when Agyei delivered a perfectly timed cross to Jayden Sweeney, who calmly finished with his left foot to give the visitors the lead.

Wigan failed to recover, and Leyton Orient sealed the victory in stoppage time. Substitute Diallang Jaiyesimi converted a Josh Keeley assist with a sharp close-range strike, doubling the score and securing all three points for the O’s.

Agyei’s contribution, his fourth assist of the season, underlines his growing influence, with the forward now involved in seven goals across 18 appearances. The victory lifts Leyton Orient into mid-table safety as they gear up for their next challenge in the EFL Trophy against Charlton Athletic on December 10.
