BBC match report –
Leyton Orient halted a run of three successive home defeats with a draw against struggling Exeter.
But they were left regretting the loss of two points after Exeter claimed an equaliser with almost the last kick of the game.
A low drive by striker Lee Thorpe a minute before the break had looked like giving the home side the points.
But the home defence failed to deal with a long throw-in by substitute Chris Curran in injury time and Sean Devine rammed in his fifth goal of the season to give the Grecians a share of the spoils.
Leyton Orient: Morris, Joseph, Lockwood, Downer, Harris, Hutchings, Toner, Brazier, Billy Jones, Thorpe, Tate.
Subs: Barrett, Martin, Ibehre, Barnard, Alexander.
Exeter: Miller, Hiley, Power, Gaia, Todd, Ampadu, Roscoe, Thomas, Coppinger, Flack, Devine.
Subs: Curran, Breslan, McConnell, Moor, Fraser.
Referee: C Penton (Sussex).
