CWimbledon earned their first league win since October with a 3-1 victory at London neighbours Leyton Orient.

An own goal, a Myles Hippolyte effort and a Marcus Browne free-kick gave the south Londoners a deserved triumph.

Orient started brighter and took the lead after just six minutes when Zech Obiero found Dom Ballard in space and he fired low and under goalkeeper Nathan Bishop.

However, the hosts were forced into a change after 13 minutes when Tom James was replaced by Demetri Mitchell.

The visitors picked up the pace after going behind and equalised after 24 minutes. Steve Seddon crossed in deep for Alistair Smith, who forced Mitchell to flick past keeper Killian Cahill.

Wimbledon took a 69th minute lead when another Seddon deep cross found Hippolyte at the back post and he connected first time to direct past Cahill.

The three points were sealed for the south London side as Browne floated in a free-kick from the edge of the area after 86 minutes to end a nine-game winless run in the league.
