Match report: Exeter City 2 Leyton Orient 2

Nicky Law struck a late penalty to ensure Exeter City picked up a 2-2 draw at St James Park.

The Grecians went ahead late in the first half through Pierce Sweeney's first goal of the season, before Lee Angol quickly brought Orient level just before the break.

The 2018-19 season ended disappointingly with just two wins in Exeter’s final seven leagues game.
