RESULT: Swindon Town 1 Leyton Orient 3
Swindon scorer: Ajose 23
Orient scorers: Mooney 24, Adubajo 40, 46
Swindon slipped out of the play-off places after a bad day at the office at the County Ground.
Town even took the lead after 23 minutes, when Nick Ajose latched on to a rebound to fire home from six yards.
But when Orient immediately replied through David Mooney's inch-perfect lob, Swindon just never got going again.
They fell behind just before half-time when Moses Odubajo headed home and then the killer blow was landed through the same striker just seconds after the re-start.
Jay McEveley was sent off late on for a second bookable offence and will miss the trip to Crawley.
Keeper attacked
Regrettably, Orient keeper Jamie Jones was attacked by a disgraceful Town fan who threw punches at him on the goalline before confronting other players. He was eventually jumped on by stewards and arrested.
"We defended poorly and paid the price," admitted Mark Cooper, "it was almost criminal the way we gave goals away."
