Barnsley secure first win of season with victory at Leyton Orient

Barnsley won their first league game of the season with a comfortable 3-1 victory at Leyton Orient.

A debut goal from Makenzie Kirk, alongside a Cameron McGeehan penalty and a Reyes Cleary effort did the damage.

The visitors took the lead after 15 minutes, when Kirk converted a cross from Cleary into the box.

They almost doubled their lead when debutant Connor O’Riordan forced Noah Phillips to tip his header over, from a 54th-minute corner.

However, Barnsley deservedly got their second from the spot on 64 minutes via captain McGeehan, after James Morris fouled Amani Richards.

The Oakwell outfit looked for more goals and they got their third with 14 minutes left, when Cleary curled his effort past Phillips after good work from Tyrese Noslin.

There was a consolation on 84 minutes for the hosts, when Nicholas Oyekunle broke free to slot past Rogan Ravenhill.
