National league Leyton Orient complete an impressive turn around having been behind at a roasting hot Aspect Arena.
Concord captain Billy Knott opened the scoring, caressing the ball beautifully over custodian Dean Brill in the Orient goal.
The hosts looked the sharper in the early exchanges and doubled their lead with Nana Boakye-Yiadom rising to nod a Ryan Hayes cross home.
Macauley Bonne ever-present and skilful didn’t take long to make a difference. A fluent move culminated in Bonne beating Sam Beasant at his near post with a snap shot.
Bonne was again at hand to take full advantage of a defensive error as he smashed home from point blank range.
Orient competed their turnaround and scored the winner with a old fastened long throw routine. The ball found it’s way to the back post where Josh Koroma was handily placed to volley into the top right corner.
