Injury time heroics from their teen keeper kick-started 2009 for Leyton Orient against the MK Dons, on Tuesday night.

19-year-old Jamie Jones guessed right in the 93rd minute and turned Sam Baldock's penalty onto the post.

It sealed a 2-1 away win, and Orient's first victory since November.

His extra time save completed what Dean Morgan and Stephen Purches had begun with their goals at stadium:MK, after ... had fired Roberto Di Matteo's promotion chasing side ahead after just nine minutes.

The result was difficult to predict ahead of the game, as the clash matched Orient, who went into it with the worst form in League One, with the MK Dons, a team sat second in the table and with the third best form in the division.

Adam Boyd started on the bench, Orient's top scorer back in the side after picking up a knock against Southend.

18-year-old Jordan Spence started in the heart of defence.

Nugent preferred the England under-19 international to Alton Thelwell, who began as a substitute.

Paul Terry also began his second game in a row under care-taker boss Kevin Nugent, standing in for the suspended Adam Chambers.

But in the 19th minute it looked like the match would go according to script when Luke Chadwick turned Cave-Brown in the O's area to open up an angle into the far corner.

The former Man Utd man looked like he had all the time in the world to stroke his shot way beyond the out-stretched hand of Jones.

However, the Orient team which took to the pitch for this game looked far more assured than the outfit of recent memory.

At the back they appeared solid, with Cave-Brown and Jordan Spence forming a solid base with Mkandawire and Purches to build upon.

Up front, Charlie Daniels, JJ Melligan, and Jason Demetriou combined well together and swapped positions fluidly.

The Dons had pace to burn in attack but looked far from convincing in defence.

With Dean Morgan causing problems with his own pace, it seemed the east Londoners would have the chance to mark their mark And in the 23rd minute they did. Morgan was in the right place at the far post to capitalise when a Melligan free kick squirted its way through a crowd of players in the six yard box.

He controlled it and unleashed a half volley that rocketed Orient right back in the game.

It was just reward for Nugent's men, they had the greater appetite and played with a verve and confidence that gave the Dons few opportunities to show their class.

When the whistle blew for half time, Orient had out-performed MK Dons sufficiently to warrant the lead.

But in the present circumstances, parity against the League One promotion chasers was acceptable.

This pattern continued in the second forty-five.

The Dons still looked shaky in defence and they were reluctant to take risks.

The hosts left the channels wide open.

And the goal which put Orient in front was one of the best seen by the O's faithful in some time.

In the 63rd, minute captain Stephen Purches rifled a low shot into the far bottom corner from the left hand fringe of the area. Willy Gueret in the Dons goal had no chance.

The Dons were rattled, and it showed. Jamel Johnson was lucky to stay on the pitch after he punched Demetriou when a tussle between the pair boiled over.

Referee David Phillips did not spot the low blow.

But the fight-back did come. The visitors were beneath the cosh in the closing stages as the Dons foraged for an equaliser. Orient invited the pressure by defending deeper and deeper.

Alton Thelwell was immense in defence after he replaced the limping Cave-Brown on the hour mark. He made big tackles and important clearances in dangerous spots when they were required.

Dons top scorer Baldock missed a guild-edged chance to level the fixture in the 75th. His header from eight yards out off of Dean Lewington's high pass deep into the heart of Orient's area, bounced wide.

Baldock had the chance to make amends in stoppage time after the ball was handled in the area, possibly by substitute Loick Pires.

Baldock stepped forwards. Jones in the Orient stepped up to the occasion.

The teenager's save sent the travelling fans delirious and sealed the victory.

Three well deserved points.
