Leyton Orient 1 - 1 Blackpool FT

Blackpool left it late to earn a 1-1 draw at 10-man Leyton Orient in League One.

A stoppage-time equaliser from Ashley Fletcher cancelled out Aaron Connolly's opener, ending five straight home wins in all competitions for the east London side who had Tayo Adaramola dismissed in the 47th minute.

The Irish forward put Orient ahead in the 23rd minute, with his low finish from outside the box too much for Bailey Peacock-Farrell.

It proved to be the highlight of a first half that was high on endeavour but low on chances created.

Orient found themselves down to 10 men just two minutes after the interval, when Adaramola was dismissed for a second yellow card.

Goalkeeper Killian Cahill had to keep out a Fletcher effort from point-blank range a minute later, as Blackpool looked for a response.

Fletcher put a header wide in the 68th minute but he made no mistake when he poked home in the fourth minute of added time to give the visitors a deserved point.
