Ghana's Daniel Agyei was in impeccable form for his English League One side as he scored to help them to a 2-0 victory.
Leyton Orient ended their winless streak against Wigan Athletic with a decisive 2-0 victory at The Brick Community Stadium in League One's Round 19, marking their first triumph in the fixture's history.
The standout performance came from English-born Ghanaian forward Daniel Agyei, whose creative play set the tone for the win.
Despite Wigan dominating possession with 53%, their inability to convert opportunities proved costly, as their xG of 0.26 underlined a lack of attacking sharpness.
The breakthrough came in the 41st minute when Agyei delivered a pinpoint cross, enabling Jayden Sweeney to finish calmly with his left foot.
The hosts sealed the victory in stoppage time when substitute Diallang Jaiyesimi connected with Josh Keeley's assist to score from close range.
Agyei’s fourth assist of the season takes his total goal contributions to seven in 18 appearances, underscoring his growing influence in Leyton Orient’s campaign.
The win lifts the team to mid-table safety, providing a boost ahead of their upcoming EFL Trophy clash against Charlton Athletic on December 10.
