TWO second-half goals were enough to give Hartlepool United a 2-1 home win over Leyton Orient.

After a lifeless first half, Tommy Miller netted his fifth of the season with a close range effort after substitute Craig Midgley saw his effort blocked.

Skipper Paul Stephenson rifled home the second minutes later. He collected the ball 25 yards out and blasted low across keeper Ashley Bayes.

Orient substitute Steve Watts headed in from close range in injury time, but there was no time for Pool to concede a second and they were well worth the points.
