FA Cup - Orient go two down, score eight
Leyton Orient came from two goals and a man down to demolish Droylsden 8-2 in the FA Cup second round, scoring six in extra time.
Droylsden took a fifth-minute lead through Ciaran Kilheeney and looked on their way to an upset as Terrell Forbes was shown a straight red card in the 37th minute and Alex Brown made the score 2-0 with 53 minutes played.
Ben Chorley (pictured) got a goal back for Leyton Orient with 25 minutes left before Nathaniel Kerr was shown a straight red to level the numbers with seven minutes to go.
Tehoue dramatically equalised with two minutes remaining before Chorley saw red a minute later to put the League One side down to nine men.
Nevertheless, Paul-Jose M'Poku put Orient ahead for the first time with three minutes played of extra time - then Lee Roche saw red and the contest was nine players versus nine.
McGleish made it four in the 96th minute and went on to score another two - combined with two from Tehoue - to seal the rout.
