Leyton Orient's match with Colchester United resumed in incredible circumstances on Saturday afternoon after the match had been initially abandoned on Saturday afternoon when protesting fans invaded the pitch and refused to leave.

Home fans stormed the Brisbane Road pitch and staged a sit-down protest against their under-fire owner Francesco Becchetti.

The referee was forced to stop Leyton Orient's match against Colchester United after hundreds of supporters stormed the pitch chanting "Becchetti out!" and “Sit down for the Orient!”

The decision was eventually taken to abandon the game after stewards tried for 40 minutes to usher fans off the pitch.

However half an hour the match was officially called off, both sets of players once again took their place on the pitch to play the last five minutes.
