ORIENT moved two points clear at the top of League One after beating Crewe 2-0 to record their fourth successive victory.

Martin Ling's men controlled long spells of a slow-paced game at the Alexandra Stadium and grabbed the goals they deserved through JJ Melligan and Adam Boyd.

Once again the O's were superb at the back, barely giving the home forwards a sniff and their solidity provided the base for success.
