Shrewsbury Town boss Paul Hurst praised his side’s effort and discipline after they stormed to a 3-0 home win against Leyton Orient.
After a slow start to the season, Town picked up their first points of the season in sensational fashion against an O’s side who remain pointless at the bottom of League One.
“Nothing is ever easy, and at times throughout the afternoon Orient had a lot of the ball,” he admitted. “What we did do well is limit them, they’ve only had one shot on target I think so I thought we worked and were really disciplined.” Despite spending large spells of the game without the ball, having just 27 per cent possession, Salop were never really threatened by Richie Wellens' forward players.
After collecting Mal Benning’s pass left of centre 25 yards from goal, the 20-year-old Town academy graduate unleashed an unstoppable effort that crashed into the top corner of Zach Hemming’s goal via the crossbar.
