Though, Dayton then turned Wharton by grabbing his neck before getting piled onto by his opponent near the advertising hoardings.
Referee Alan Young watched closely the the events playing out, then sent off the instigators as soon as the fight ended up being eventually broken up – the match which finished 1-1.

Northampton took the lead just as the game about about to go to half-time thanks to Ryan Watson, and of course Orient found their leveler in the closing stages of the second half, when the incident took place.
The result means the O’s sit in 19th place in the League Two table, moving six points clear of safety and of bottom-of-the-table Morecambe.
Northampton remain in the play-off places, in 6th place and on 46 points but are just two points off Crewe in the final automatic promotion spot.

Fair play to the steward who gets into the mix to try to break it all up! More than the officials can be arsed to do.

Was a pen. The reaction for Northampton players was disgraceful. Stupid by Dayton both was a Red Card. Lucky to get a point if Northampton are that crap cant beat us when we are playing like that then they have no chance of going up. We need to buck up ideas up quick to stay up
