Leyton Orient lost 2-3 at home to Wycombe Wanderers in a League One clash on Saturday, 12 September 2026, as the visitors overturned a shaky start under interim charge to claim their first win of the season. Jayden Wareham put Wycombe ahead in the thirteenth minute, assisted by Ewan Henderson, before Jack Grimmer's own goal on thirty-seven minutes was cancelled out moments later by Fred Onyedinma, who struck again just before the break off another Henderson assist. Daniel Harvie added a third two minutes into the second half, set up by Aaron Morley, and though Jaze Kabia pulled one back on fifty-two minutes with an assist from Yusuf Akhamrich, Leyton Orient could not find an equaliser. Conor Hazard did well to tip an Armando Dobra effort over the bar as the O's pushed for a leveller, BBC Sport reported from Brisbane Road.
Tom Hounsell, the interim head coach who took charge after Michael Duff was sacked, said Wycombe "overcame their managerial upheaval by defeating Leyton Orient to secure their first win in League One this season."
