Simon Church scored a late equaliser for Leyton Orient to deny promotion-chasing Leeds victory at Brisbane Road.

Leeds started brightly and Neil Kilkenny had a shot saved before Robert Snodgrass fired home their opener.

They went 2-0 up when Orient's Jason Demetriou handled a shot and was sent off, Snodgrass converting the penalty.

But the hosts hit back brilliantly and Sean Thornton curled in a free-kick before Casper Ankergren failed to hold a shot and Church scrambled it home.
