Leyton Orient 1-2 Peterborough United

Oztumer was signed from non-league Dulwich Hamlet in the summer for an undisclosed fee

Erhun Oztumer marked his first league start for Peterborough with a brilliant free-kick as they overcame Orient for their first win in seven league games.

Posh went ahead early when Aaron Mclean made no mistake from close range.

The home side levelled when Sean Batt found space on the edge of the box and beat Ben Alnwick with a low shot.

Oztumer spoiled Fabio Liverani's first game as Orient boss when he curled home after Mclean was tripped, and Posh held on despite Joe Newell's late dismissal.

The midfielder, whose cross had created Mclean's opener, collected his second yellow card in injury time for a late challenge.

Former Italy international Liverani is Orient's fourth manager this season, with Kevin Nugent and Mauro Milanese having short-term spells in charge following Russell Slade's departure for Cardiff in September.

The defeat was their third in a row and dropped them into League One's bottom four, with Peterborough remaining ninth despite their victory, but outside the play-off places on goal difference only.

Leyton Orient captain Nathan Clarke told BBC London 94.9:

Clarke on Orient v Peterborough

"It's been a week where the players can familiarise themselves with their new manager [Liverani] and get to grips with what he's trying to implement.

"He is looking at a short passing game and we've been working on that this week.

"We're not stepping up to the mark at the moment, and we need to start really kicking on because before we know it the games will have run out."
