Bournemouth recorded a 3-1 win over Leyton Orient, with Warren Feeney scoring the goal of the game with a 25-yard screamer on the hour. The first two Bournemouth goals were scored by Leyton Orient players however. First Billy Jones put the ball in his own net on nine minutes, before Matt Joseph repeated the feat on 17 minutes. Lee Thorpe grabbed a consolation for Leyton in the last minute.
