Leyton Orient delivered a stunning 5-0 away victory over Bromley in a one-sided London derby this week. The emphatic win at Hayes Lane served as a powerful response to their home defeat by Barnsley the previous Saturday.
Richie Wellens's side, currently sixth in League One with six points from four games, produced a ruthless attacking display. The result was reported by Yahoo Sports UK. It ended Bromley's remarkable 27-match unbeaten run in home league fixtures, a streak dating back to March 2025.
How did Leyton Orient score their goals?
Jaze Kabia opened the scoring for the O's in the 36th minute. He doubled his tally later in the match with a goal from a corner. Yusuf Akhamrich then took over after the break, netting twice in quick succession. His first came less than a minute after half-time, and he added a second with a strike from outside the box. Armando Dobra completed the rout with a goal in stoppage time.
The victory highlighted Leyton Orient's potent attack, which has now scored nine goals in four league games this season.

What did the managers say after the match?
Leyton Orient manager Richie Wellens was thrilled with his team's performance. "Our intensity to get to the ball was superb, our desire to get on the first contact was very good, and after that the football was unbelievable at times," Wellens said.
In contrast, Bromley boss Andy Woodman was highly critical of his team's display. "We've got to grow up a little bit quicker than we are at the moment and make sure we become a little bit tougher and more aggressive than we are in everything we do," Woodman stated. The heavy loss marked a dramatic collapse for a side that had been so strong at home for over a year.
What is Leyton Orient's current league position?
The three points from this comprehensive win help solidify Leyton Orient's early-season standing. They sit sixth in the League One table, having won two and lost two of their opening four matches. Their goal difference of plus four is a strong early indicator. They are currently four points behind the early leaders, Huddersfield Town.
