McAnuff bags brace as Orient end Harrogate’s unbeaten run

Leyton Orient knocked Harrogate off top spot in the National League as Jobi McAnuff scored twice in a 3-0 away win.

Macauley Bonne opened the scoring in the 23rd minute before a brace from veteran McAnuff either side of half-time killed off the hosts.

Both sides went into the match boasting unbeaten records, but it was the visitors who started the brighter.

Orient capitalised on an excellent advantage played by referee Marc Edwards to go in front as Charlie Lee played in Bonne to finish past James Belshaw.

Belshaw was beaten again in the 36th minute, saving from Josh Koroma but only succeeding in pushing the ball out for McAnuff to tap home.

Harrogate regrouped and finished the half strongly, Bonne clearing Liam Kitching’s header off the line and Dean Brill doing well to keep out Kelvin Langmead.

But Orient killed off Harrogate in the 68th minute when McAnuff fired home Koroma’s cut-back to take the visitors a point clear of their opponents at the top.
