Tranmere recorded their seventh win in nine league outings with a victory at Leyton Orient, which signalled the end of Ross Embleton's reign in east London.

The O's parted company with Embleton after defeat left them 14th in the League Two table and without a victory in their past seven games, while Tranmere moved within a point of the automatic promotion places.

The deadlock was broken on 24 minutes when Orient failed to deal with a cross sent in by Jay Spearing and Paul Lewis stabbed the ball in from close range.

Orient did not register a shot on target before the break and their plight got worse on 56 minutes when Rovers doubled their advantage.

James Vaughan robbed defender Adam Thompson and slipped a pass to Kaiyne Woolery, who raced clear before planting the ball low into the corner for his 10th goal of the campaign.

And seven minutes later, half-time substitute Kieron Morris was left unmarked and stooped low to head a Warren Feeney corner into the net.

Orient reduced the deficit on 68 minutes when substitute Jamie Turley netted with his first touch heading in a free-kick from James Brophy but the visitors comfortably held out.
