Leyton Orient ended their winless streak against Wigan Athletic with a 2-0 victory in League One's Round 19 at The Brick Community Stadium. This historic win was driven by English-born Ghanaian forward Daniel Agyei, who provided his fourth assist of the season.

The match began evenly, with Wigan dominating possession (53%) but failing to create meaningful chances (xG 0.26).

In the 41st minute, Agyei's precise cross found Jayden Sweeney, who scored with a composed left-foot finish. Wigan struggled to respond, and Diallang Jaiyesimi sealed the victory in stoppage time, converting Josh Keeley’s assist.

Agyei's seven goal contributions in 18 appearances reflect his growing influence. Leyton Orient climbed to mid-table safety and now prepares for an EFL Trophy clash against Charlton Athletic on December 10.
