Orient salvage draw after dramatic first-leg versus Hatters | OneFootball

Leyton Orient's prolific loanee striker Charlie Kelman netted an 88th-minute spot-kick to earn the O's a draw in a dramatic and contentious first leg of their League One play-off semi-final against Stockport County.

Orient initially took the lead when Kelman’s opener was controversially allowed despite the forward appearing to be in an offside position.

However, Stockport replied with a quick-fire double in the second half, as Oliver Norwood and skipper Fraser Horsfall found the net within five minutes to put their side in front and on track to take a slim back for the return leg at Edgeley Park on Wednesday.

There was a late twist, though, as Kelman struck again from the penalty spot after Horsfall was judged to have handled the ball inside the area.

The QPR loanee has now plundered 23 goals in the third tier for Orient, who will travel to Stockport next Wednesday with the tie perfectly in the balance.
