Relegation-threatened Crawley failed to improve their plight as they suffered a 3-0 defeat at Leyton Orient.

Charlie Kelman, Dan Agyei and Omar Beckles were on the scoresheet for the O’s, who have now gone six matches without conceding a goal.

The home side finally made the breakthrough after 33 minutes after a delightful three-man move. Jamie Donley produced a defence-splitting pass that found Ollie O’Neill, whose precision cross was met by Kelman to notch his ninth goal of the campaign.

The O’s handed their opponents a football lesson after the interval as they put the outcome beyond doubt with a rampant display

After 50 minutes, full-back Jack Currie raced 60 yards down the left flank before crossing for Agyei to net his 10th goal of the season.

Five minutes later, an attempted Crawley clearance to a Donley set-piece struck Beckles and rolled into the net.

The visitors continued to struggle to contain a rampant home side, who totally dominated the second half as Crawley failed to muster a meaningful attacking threat after the break.
