Leyton Orient came from two goals down to snatch a 2-2 draw in added time with Stockport at Brisbane Road.

Goals from Nathan Lowe and Joseph Olowu put County in command, but Aaron Connolly pulled one back and Ollie O’Neill struck a last-gasp leveller.

With both teams unchanged from their previous league fixtures, Orient had the better of the opening exchanges.

But early substitute Lowe stunned the hosts after 28 minutes. Corey O’Keefe found space on the right to sent a cross into the area and Lowe was in the right place to head past Tommy Simkin.

Stockport doubled the lead eight minutes later when Olowu met an Ollie Norwood delivery from deep with a diving header.

Olowu nearly added a third three minutes before the break but fired straight at Simkin from point-blank range during a goalmouth scramble.

Orient hit back after 57 minutes when Connolly struck first time from an O’Neill pass.

With seven minutes of added time indicated, the hosts pressed for an equaliser and O’Neill sprung the offside trap to score and send the home fans wild.
