Leyton Orient boss Fabio Liverani has hailed his side's 1-0 victory over Coventry City as the "most important result" since he took charge of the O's.

A late strike from Josh Wright proved enough for Orient to leave the Ricoh Arena with three points, which moves the East End outfit out of the League One relegation zone.

Speaking after the game, Liverani was quick to stress the significance of the Coventry victory in Leyton Orient's season.

He told the East London and West Essex Guardian: "It's probably the most important result and the one that might determine more in terms of the relegation battle.

"It was a very important game. It was a six pointer and these three points are extremely important for us. It feels like we recovered those three points we lost at home against Barnsley and the draw that we deserved at Crawley so it's very important.

"The spirit of the players has never been lacking since I've arrived. It's the reason I was always happy to stay even when there were moments when we were struggling and losing games. This spirit was always present and tonight we got three points."

Leyton Orient have the chance to pull further away from the bottom four when they host Gillingham on Monday afternoon.
