Orient claim Rangers scalp

Jason Demetriou and Adam Boyd fired Coca-Cola League One Leyton Orient into the second round of the Carling Cup with a 2-1 victory over below-par QPR at Loftus Road.

Teenage midfielder Demetriou struck 10 minutes into the second half and Boyd tucked away a penalty eight minutes later as Championship side Rangers were sent packing at Loftus Road.

Martin Rowlands pulled one back but cash-strapped Rangers will not enjoy a Carling Cup run to boost the coffers this season.

Following a low-key first half, Boyd chased down a hopeful up-and-under from defence on the edge of the Rangers box and his heavy touch fell to Demetriou, who made no mistake from 10 yards.

The Os should have double their advantage but for a stunning save from Lee Camp, who somehow pushed Wayne Gray's point-blank header onto the crossbar.

But the visitors did double their advantage when Danny Cullip brought down Gray in the area and Boyd stepped up to send Camp the wrong way for his second goal of the season.

Rowlands, easily Rangers' best player on the night, slid in to pull one back after 68 minutes, and Stuart Nelson saved well from Nick Ward in the last minute as the Os held out to spring a surprise.
