League Two roundup: Leyton Orient go top with late rally against Stevenage

Leyton Orient win their third straight game with a 3-0 win over Stevenage, while Wycombe Wanderers and Hartlepool United maintain their 100% starts.

Leyton Orient have moved to the top of League Two thanks to a 3-0 win over Teddy Sheringham's Stevenage in League Two tonight.

The East Londoners maintained their 100% record as second-half goals from Jay Simpson, Blair Turgott and Ollie Palmer separated the sides.

Scott Fenwick scored the winner for Hartlepool United, who also made it three wins from three, at home to Newport County, in a result which keeps the South Wales club near the bottom with just one point so far.

Plymouth Argyle have won for the second time this season with a comprehensive victory over Carlisle United.

The West Country side took the lead just before the break through Jake Jervis, before the floodgates opened in the second half as Reuben Reid, Graham Carey and a second goal from Jervis put them out of sight, and made sure that Carlisle remain winless.

Newly-promoted Barnet won for the first time this season with a 2-0 win over Northampton Town, who finished with 10 men.
