Leyton Orient 2
(FA Cup 2nd rnd)

ORIENT swept into the third round of the FA Cup and set up a potential money-spinning third round tie with a Premier League club following victory at Bradford.

The O's grabbed a 14th minute lead after Jason Demetriou fired home from the edge of the area to with a well executed chip to beat former Orient loanee Rhys Evans.

The Bantams hit back 13 minutes after the restart with an equaliser from Michael Boulding, who calmly beat Glenn Morris from 12 yards.

But the east Londoners were soon back in the lad, as on 65 minutes Danny Granville fired in his first goal for the O's after he headed home Dean Morgan's cross.

Orient: Morris; Purches, Thelwell, Spence, Granville; Melligan, Chambers, Thornton, Demetriou; Boyd (Jarvis 77), Morgan (Dawkins, 84). Subs: Jones (GK), Cave-Brown, Terry, Palmer, Pires.
