Leyton Orient 1 West Ham 1

Two wonderful goals marked a competitive first half. The good news for West Ham is that Ashton is back! He scored the opening goal in the 15th minute of this game, turning and shooting a dipping ball from 35 yards into the far corner of the goal.

Ten minutes later Boyd scored, also from 35 yards, a half volley to equalise for Orient.

Ashton missed a four yard open goal in the second half with his head and Orient had a goal disallowed for offside.

West Ham: Green, Pantsil, Ferdinand, Davenport, McCartney, Reid (Stokes), Bowyer, Mullins, Etherington, Cole and Ashton.
