Leyton Orient 1-0 Doncaster: Theo Archibald hits stunning winner

Highlights of the Sky Bet League Two match between Leyton Orient and Doncaster.

Theo Archibald's stunning long-range volley earned Leyton Orient a 1-0 win over Doncaster at Brisbane Road to extend their lead at the top of League Two to five points.

The defining moment came after 68 minutes when Archibald controlled a clearance and fired a dipping left-foot volley from 30 yards into the net.

There was little quality on show in the first half, with both sides giving the ball away cheaply on a number of occasions.

A compact Doncaster defence meant Jonathan Mitchell had just one save to make, Archibald testing the keeper with a shot from distance.

At the other end Jordan Brown blocked a Kyle Hurst drive, but Rovers' top-score George Miller spurned the best opportunity of the half when he shanked a shot wide when well placed.

Orient, without both first-choice centre-backs, proved resilient in defence and after the interval looked the more potent side.
