HARTLEPOOL United's home woes continued with an abject 3-1 home defeat to Leyton Orient.
Defeat leaves the home side without a victory in seven games at home this season; victory is the first for new Os boss Alberto Cavasin and their first in seven games.
The Os had the best openings in the first half – but trailed at the break.
A deep free kick saw Ollie Palmer head against the crossbar, but Pools took the lead on 45 minutes.
A corner from Lewis Alessandra was nodded back at goal by Lewis Hawkins for Josh Laurent to knock in his first professional goal.
Hawkins was denied a second by a fine, one-handed save from Alex Cisak and three minutes later the Os levelled.
Sandro Semedo was picked out on the right side of the area and his low shot beat keeper Trevor Carson at the near post on 56 minutes.
On 62 minutes, Palmer got his first goal, curling his finish low around Carson.
Then the striker was fed by Gavin Massey, and he made no mistake.
