Leyton Orient continued their fine start to the season after they cruised to a 3-1 win over Colchester to remain unbeaten at the top of Sky Bet League Two.

Luke Chambers turned into his own net to make it 1-0 in favour of the visitors and it remained that way until the 77th minute when Theo Archibald extended their lead.

Sam Hoskins’ stoppage-time strike straight from a corner helped Northampton fight back from two goals down to snatch a point against Crewe and retain their unbeaten start to the league campaign.
