ORIENT fell to their third consecutive defeat after being outclassed by top-of-the-table Leicester City at the Walkers Stadium on Saturday.

The O's were never in the contest and they were fighting a losing battle as soon as Matt Oakley gave the home side a ninth minute lead.

Mark Davies extended their advantage before the interval and Paul Dickov scored from the spot late on to complete a miserable afternoon for the visitors, whose only shot on target was an injury time Alton Thelwell header that needed to be cleared off the line.
