Max Sanders scored the only goal of the game having been found in the box after 16 minutes, shifting the ball onto his right foot and sliding his shot under Boro stopper Craig MacGillivray.

Orient were rescued after referee Craig Hicks ruled out Jamie Reid’s equaliser due to Jordan Roberts’ soft handball.

Evans’ side now sit two points behind Oxford United with a game in hand, their play-off hopes damaged by today’s result.

“We are only trying to achieve what Portsmouth are, what Peterborough are, what Barnsley are. Just give us an equal chance to achieve that,” said Evans after the game.
