Worksop Town thumped Lincoln United 6-0 at Sandy Lane on Tuesday night to move ninth in the Northern Premier League East Division.
In front of a crowd of 347, the Tigers took the lead through Jay Rollins on twelve minutes before Aleksandrs Starcenko made it two with half an hour gone.
Josh Wilde netted a third, eight minutes after the break before Jack Broadhead got on the scoresheet on 64. Liam Hughes then made it five with nine minutes remaining before Rollins got his second of the night, in injury time, to inflict misery on the second bottom team from across the A57.
