Winger Gary Roberts scored one goal and laid on another two to keep Huddersfield's unbeaten home record intact with a 4-0 victory over Leyton Orient.

Huddersfield were in control for most of the first half but squandered several chances before Roberts scored in the second minute of added time with a 15-yard shot for only his second goal of the season.

And in the 57th minute, only seconds after Huddersfield had been denied a penalty for handball, Roberts' cross to the far post was headed home by centre-back Nathan Clarke. Then in the 74th minute Roberts crossed into the box for midfielder Michael Collins to score with a spectacular diving header.

In the 90th minute Roberts started the move with a short corner which led to striker Jordan Rhodes scoring with a close-range header for his 12th goal of the season.

Orient, who have won only twice on their travels this season, managed to carve out only one clear-cut chance in the match in the 18th minute when Ben Chorley headed over the bar from a corner.
