L'Equipe punish Loughton

A Josh Lewis double saw L'Equipe claimed a much-needed victory in a game where they took the lead twice against Loughton Orient at Peter May.

Recent signing David Blitz grabbed his second goal for Loughton.

L'Equipe boss David Prager told JC Sport: "The lads played really well on Sunday. If it wasn’t for some poor finishing and their keeper being in inspired form the score could have easily been 5-0 by half time. We started the second half extremely poorly and Loughton scored with their first shot of the game. After conceding we showed great character and got our more than deserved winner."

Loughton player-manager Dan Curtis told JC Sport: "We never really got going in the first half and were very disappointing. Our keeper made numerous saves to keep the score at 0-0, but they scored just before the break. We looked sharper after the break and equalised, though the game then became quite scrappy with neither team creating too much. They scored a winner with 10 minutes left and saw the game out.

"I'm really disappointed with our performance. We were poor in the first half and the second wasn't much better. We know we can do better as we have shown it in phases this season. We need a strong performance next week and three points."
